Hibs ‘keeper Calum Antell joins East Fife on loan
The former Welsh youth international has been an ever-present on the bench this season, but was today in line to make his debut for the Second Division Fife outfit against Stenhousemuir at Ochilview.
Antell (20) spent last season on loan with East Stirling and was voted their player of the year as Grant picked up a Scottish Cup runners-up medal as he suddenly found himself second choice for the Hampden final against Hearts after Graham Stack was ruled out through injury.

“So I’m looking forward to getting some game time under my belt at East Fife and coming back in January as a more experienced goalkeeper.”
Antell joins fellow Hibs youngsters Scott Smith, who has extended his loan spell at Bayview for a further month, and Jordon Forster who has been farmed out to the Methil club until January.
