Interviewed by Hibbs TV, Evan Henderson recounts when he first heard of Hibbs’ interest. “The interest came after I came in and scored against Real Betis. That evening my agent called to let me know that Hibbs was interested. Apparently no new manager was announced at this time and I decided to wait and see. As soon as I saw that it was Sean Maloney, I was a million percent sure I would be here and continue my career.
