Hibs coach Shaun Maloney said: "I'm delighted to sign Demetri. He brings excellent attributes in different positions and will help us in both attacking and defensive situations.

"As a player, he brings real technical quality and outstanding speed, particularly in one vs one situations. My staff and I look forward to working with him."

Mitchell began his career at Old Trafford and made his top-team debut in the Premier League against Crystal Palace in 2017.

A loan spell at Hearts followed before a permanent move to Blackpool.
