Hibernian have been linked with 22-year-old English striker Josh Stones as the Easter Road club looks to strengthen its squad during the January transfer window. The team is considered to have few attacking options after a loan move for Lyndon Dykes was not completed in the summer. Head coach David Gray stated that the club is assessing a few positions for potential reinforcements but did not comment on any specific players. Stones joined York City in January 2025 and his contract runs until June 2028. In the 2025/2026 National League season, he has made 22 appearances, scoring 8 goals and providing 4 assists.
