Hibernians swoop for Argentinian

Maltese side Hibernians FC have signed Cesar Paiber from Hamrun Spartans FC.

Protest upheld
The defending champions completed the signing of the 32-year old Argentinian midfield player after his personal protest concerning wage arrears at Hamrun was upheld by the Malta Football Association Players and Coaches Complaints Board late on Tuesday.

Over 70 matches
Paiber arrived on the island in 1992 signing for Hamrun before returning to his native country in 1995. He rejoined Hamrun at the beginning of last season and in total has played well over 70 Maltese Premier League matches, scoring a total of 22 goals.
