Crewe are set to swoop for long term target Clayton Donaldson from Hibs. The former York hit man is set to be named as Nicky Maynard's replacement following Maynard's move to Bristol City earlier in the week. Donaldson has been a long term target if Steve Holland's but has so far failed to capture his man due to Hibs' resistance to let Donaldson go. However, the 24 year old 'giant' has now been told he will be able to leave if the right offer came along.
