Graham Stack upbeat despite no Hibs deal Published on Thursday 24 May 2012 00:00 Goalkeeper Graham Stack last night expressed his disappointment at being freed by Hibernian - one month after being told he had a future at the club. The Englishman follows club captain Ian Murray in being released ahead of a major squad overhaul after a frustrating league campaign and Saturday's Scottish Cup final 5-1 humiliation at the hands of capital rivals Hearts. Stack's season was cut short when he picked up a thigh strain during April's semi-final victory over Aberdeen. Despite the injury, the 30-year-old was reassured by manager Pat Fenlon after the memorable Hampden clash that fresh terms would be forthcoming. Stack said: "I'm really disappointed that I'm not being handed a new deal. I was told by the gaffer about a month ago, after I had picked up the injury, that there would be something for me this summer. That's disappointing. I went away for a wee holiday with the family, I've come back and I've been told I'm not getting a new deal. The decision has been made and it's out of my hands. I spoke to the gaffer on Wednesday and he told me the option was no longer there. I've got an idea in my own mind of what has happened but I'm not going to start arguing with the manager. I have to respect his decision. I've been at the club for three years and it was an honour to be attached to Hibs for those years. There have been some highs during that time. We finished fourth in our first season and got into Europe, then it was disappointing to miss out on the Scottish Cup final. The fans have been great with me but it's time to move on. I wish the club all the best. I've got a young family so I just have to find something, whether that's in Scotland or back down south. Stack was brought to Hibs by then manager John Hughes in summer 2009 but a frustrating run of injuries restricted him to 29 first-team appearances in his first two years at the club, part of the reason he was only handed a 12-month deal last year. After establishing himself as the recognised number one ahead of Mark Brown this term, the shot-stopper missed all of Hibs" five post-split SPL fixtures as well as the cup final defeat by city rivals Hearts due to the thigh problem. But the much-travelled Londoner insists he will be ready for the start of next season. He added: "I'm nearly there on the injury front. I maybe have another week or so to go until I'm fit and ready to go again. It seems to be going well enough. Wherever I am next year, I will be fit enough to start pre-season training. Garry O'Connor is also understood to be on his way out of Easter Road. The striker was scheduled to hold talks with Fenlon yesterday about his future but there was no word from Hibs on the outcome of those discussions. Today, O'Connor is scheduled to appear at Haddington Sheriff Court, where he is due to stand trial on a £93,500 fraud charge after a crash involving the player's Ferrari F430 Spider F1.
