Chairman puts faith in ‘winner’ Fenlon

HIBERNIAN chairman Rod Petrie yesterday hailed Pat Fenlon as a winner and leader after the Irishman’s appointment as the Edinburgh club’s ninth manager in 10 years.

Fenlon was released by Dublin club Bohemians and named by Hibs as successor to Colin Calderwood on a two-and-a-half year contract.

And Petrie, who has been criticised during Hibs’ form slump over the last 18 months, believes Fenlon can be a catalyst for an upturn in fortunes.
