Brown, who took charge of Fleetwood last month after holding talks with Raith Rovers, made St Johnstone full-back Shaun Rooney his first transfer capture on the back of appointing former Hibs team-mate Steven Whittaker as his assistant.

Now another Easter Road connection appears on the cards with former Hibs midfielder Josh Vela set to become Brown’s latest signing on a free transfer from League One rivals Shrewsbury Town, according to reports.
