HE WHO SHARES ...WINS

Le Fondre happy to dish out words of wisdom.. if younger pros want to listen

ADAM LE FONDRE insists he's happy to be Hibs' father figure - as long as the Easter Road youngsters want him to help.

Le Fondre, who turns 37 in December, penned an initial one-year deal with the Leith side on Friday.

The move brings him back to British football after five years in Australia with Sydney. And the former Reading, Bolton and Cardiff striker is desperate to prove he can maintain an impressive scoring record with 273 goals in 694 career appearances.

But he knows Hibs have recruited him for his influence off the pitch too.
