The former Sunderland player Charalampos Mavrias has signed for Hibernian on a short-term deal, the Scottish club have announced.

Mavrias spent three seasons on Sunderland’s books, but only made seven appearances throughout that time before being sold to Karlsruher SC.

And after just a year in German football and another in Croatia with HNK Rijeka, Mavrias is back on British shores.

Hibernian revealed via their official website that the Greek winger-cum-full-back has joined them until January 2019 on a free transfer, although the deal is said to include options to extend.

Sunderland find themselves two divisions below the one they were in at the time of Mavrias’s departure, but have begun their quest for an immediate return to the Championship with promise – despite a summer of upheaval at the Stadium of Light.

The Mackems recruited 12 new players in the summer transfer window, including the former Hibernian midfielder Dylan McGeouch.
