Luna returns to Spain

Paco Luna (centre) celebrates a goal against Rangers

Paco Luna has left Hibernian to return to Spain with Second Division side Almeria.

The former Dundee striker joined the club in July 2001 but with only two goals to his credit this season, manager Bobby Williamson has allowed him to leave.

"I have enjoyed playing in Scotland and I would like to thank Hibs and wish them well for the future," said Luna.

Hibs have recalled young striker Derek Riordan from his loan spell at Cowdenbeath and signed former Celtic youngster Mark Malloy on a free transfer.
