Owain Tudur Jones is delighted to have secured a move to Hibernian as he feared going stale at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
The Welshman has agreed a two-year deal with Hibs after helping Caley Thistle to their highest-ever finish in the SPL.
He feels, at the age of 28, that the time is right to take on a new challenge and test himself at Easter Road.
Tudur Jones told the Daily Record: "Hibs are a massive club but there is also a history of under-achievement and that is something I hope to help rectify.
"The initial ambition is to finish in the top six but regardless of history, stadia and crowds you have to work hard to achieve anything in the SPL.
"The move to Hibs is a fresh challenge and one I'm really excited about. Throughout my career I've chased new challenges and not wanted to stand still and this is a new experience for me.
"Staying in Inverness has been an absolute joy and now I can't wait to move to Edinburgh and begin a new chapter in my career."
Puri, who could win his 50th cap for his country in Monday's friendly against Belarus, will join the League Two club on a two-year contract subject to a medical.
The 25-year-old has become manager Nigel Worthington's fourth summer signing following the arrivals of Ryan Jarvis, Craig Clay and Ryan Bowman.
"He's a wide player who can play on the right or left," said Worthington.
"I remember him playing against us when I was manager of Northern Ireland and, being in the same group, we obviously watched Estonia several times and I've looked back at my reports from then.
"He's 5ft 9in tall and, when I was talking about our need for tall players not preventing us from signing a good, small one, he falls into that category.
"He had a trial period at Kilmarnock last season and I have spoken to Jimmy Nicholl about him.
"Jimmy said he was excellent and could not fault him on anything so I asked him why he didn't sign him and he said that they had a young lad coming through the system who was a similar player and they did not want to block his progress so Sander went to St Mirren instead."
