Hibs head into the second half of the campaign aiming to secure a top-four finish under head coach David Gray after his impressive debut season at Easter Road last term.
Currently on course for a second successive top-half finish, the Leith outfit currently trails fourth-place Motherwell by two points, and will hope they can repeat the impeccable form they showed in the second half of last season that saw them turn relegation dogfight into revolution.
With Nectar Triantis, Mykola Kukharevych, and Lewis Miller all no longer part of the Hibs squad following their summer departures, head coach Gray will be relying on stalwarts such as Martin Boyle and hotshot striker Kieron Bowie as they look to fight their way to a European spot.
Alongside the aforementioned trio, Hibs also waved goodbye to Marvin Ekpiteta, Nathan Mariah-Welsh, and Dwight Gayle in the summer as the club made way for new arrivals. But while Hibs have battled for a place in the top half of the Scottish Premiership, what happened to those who moved on in the summer window?
Here we look at the 17 Hibs players who moved away from the club before the start of the new campaign, and assess how they have done for their new teams in the first half of the season. Who has found success away from Easter Road - and who regrets their decision to leave?
1. Jair Tavares - Kauno Zalgiris
Having failed to impress on loan to Motherwell last season, Tavares departed Easter Road on a free transfer and linked up with Lithuanian outfit Kauno Zalgiris in August. He hasn't made much of an impact in Eastern Europe, though, playing just seven times since his arrival, scoring once. | SNS Group
2. Dwight Gayle - Retired
The 35-year-old former Newcastle United frontman brought an end to his playing career after a short, but successful, stint at Easter Road last season. Since his retirement, he has announced that he has joined Unique Sports Group as a player consultant and mentor, with his role focused on helping guide players making their way through their professional football journey. | SNS Group
3. Marvin Ekpiteta - MK Dons
The English centre-back struggled in his debut season at Hibs, and was allowed to leave the club ahead of the summer transfer window to return across the border, signing for MK Dons. Since his move back to England, the defender has flourished, where he is a regular starter for Paul Warne's side. Currently in fifth position in EFL League Two, the 30-year-old will be aiming to win promotion at Stadium MK come May. | SNS Group
4. Josef Bursik - Portsmouth
The England under-21 goalkeeper endured a nightmare stint in Leith last season, having joined on a season-long loan from Club Brugge, and lost his place to Jordan Smith at the halfway point of the season following several high-profile gaffes. Despite his struggles at Easter Road, he has found a permanent home with EFL Championship side Portsmouth. While the Blues are struggling in 21st place, Bursik has found regular first-team football. | SNS Group
