Hibs goalkeeper Jordan Smith has signed an extension to his contract and will now stay at the club until the summer of 2028.
Smith joined Hibs last summer after leaving Stockport County and initially played back up to fellow keeper Josef Bursik.
After taking over the goalkeeping role, the 30-year-old has kept six clean sheets in 19 appearances this season, and has now extended his stay in the Scottish capital.
Hibs head coach David Gray said: “We’ve really enjoyed working with Jordan, and we’re delighted he’s extended his stay with us.
“He worked hard whilst waiting for his opportunity at the start of the season, and has gone from strength-to-strength since coming into the starting XI.
“Jordan uses his experience well both on and off the pitch, and is a really good influence in the dressing room.”
Sporting Director Malky Mackay added: “This deal is excellent news for both Hibs and Jordan, and he deserves it due to his attitude and performances this season.
“He is the type of character that we want in our environment both on and off the field, and is a real experienced professional in the dressing room.
“Work is always going on behind the scenes as we plan the squad from both a short and long-term perspective, and we look forward to seeing Jordan perform for Hibs for years to come.”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
