Hibernian
Sunderland youngster to make loan move to Hibs
Sunderland defender Nectar Triantis is set to join Hibernian on loan, according to Michael Walker.
Sunderland are seventh in the Championship table. Michael Beale’s side won their last game against Stoke City, bringing them back into contention for the Championship play-offs.
The Black Cats have had a shaky season, but all things considered, they are still in contention for a top six finish, and if Beale can settle his team and find some consistency, there is no reason they cannot finish in the top six by the end of the season.
Triantis, 20, joined Sunderland from the Central Coast Mariners over the summer. He has played six Championship games for Sunderland this season, scoring once as a central defender.
However, he has struggled to establish a consistent role in the squad. Walker has now confirmed that he will join Scottish Premiership side Hibernian on loan until the end of the season.
Looks like this will take Kiefer Moore back to Ipswich rather than Sunderland, where Callum Styles is expected from Barnsley and Nectar Triantis will rejoin Nick Montgomery (Central Coast Mariners) on loan at Hibs. https://t.co/c8VcbO2FU7

A good move.
Triantis will reunite with former Central Coast Mariners manager Nick Montgomery in Scotland, which should help the youngster settle. They both know what the other enjoys, and more consistent senior football will only help him move forward.
The 20-year-old has shown promising signs in the north east, but Sunderland are unable to give Triantis the time he needs to develop right now, so a loan move makes a lot of sense.
Hibernian are currently seventh in the Scottish Premiership table, and they will be hoping to move up the division between now and summer. Hibs struggled under former Sunderland manager Lee Johnson, and Montgomery is still working to lay new groundwork for future success.
Sunderland’s Alex Pritchard left for Birmingham City today, and more is expected to happen on Wearside before tonight’s deadline.
Sunderland will travel to Middlesbrough this Sunday afternoon.
