Lewis Stevenson signs two-year contract extension at Hibernian

Hibernian left-back Lewis Stevenson signs a two-year contract extension at Easter Road as manager Alan Stubbs looks to shore up his defence.

Hibernian defender Lewis Stevenson has agreed to extend his playing career at Easter Road, signing a two-year contract extension.

The 27-year-old currently stands as the club's longest-serving player, having joined under then-manager Tony Mowbray in 2005.

"I'm delighted to have agreed the new deal, I always wanted to stay with Hibs. The future here looks really bright, so hopefully I can now help the club to get promoted," said Stevenson, according to The Scotsman.

"It's mad how quickly the past ten years have gone by, there have been some highs and also a few lows. But my aim is to be part of bringing the good times here again and that starts by winning promotion next season.

"When I made by debut for Hibs, I never thought that I would still be playing for the club ten years later. It's an achievement to be at such a big club like Hibs for so long and hopefully I'll be here for many more years to come."

The left-back has notched up 267 games for the club and last season featured in the PFA Scotland Championship team of the year.
