Boyle has signed extended contract

[CentreLine]

One comment made by NL at the AGM tonight that Squirrel has signed and new extended contract. Was gushing about how good he has been and the improvements he has made to his game. Was humorous with the comment "When I came here he was always on his backside". "Still only six stone dripping wet" but has learned to ride tackles and stay on his feet while adding great goals to his game.


Didn't give more detail about the contract but has to be great news:nlgwa

[LaMotta]

Great news:thumbsup:

Did he say how long for? Hes still only 24, will only get better!

[Peevemor]

Great news. I said before the season started that he'd be an important player for us.

He's fast becoming my favourite.

[Carheenlea]

He has become one our best players, and added to that improvement has been consistency. Signing him on a new deal is excellent news.

[Springbank]

We would need a seven figure sum to replace a dangerous winger with pace. This is brilliant news and well done Hibs

[staunchhibby]

Excellent piece of business.Well deserved squirrel.

Starman

[Hi Heid Yin]

Great news!
It's hard not to like Boyle.
Watching him run at opposition defenders is exciting.
His game has gone up a few notches under Neil lennon's watch.
Definitely now one of the top players in the SPL.

[overdrive]

The first name on the team sheet for me!

[calumhibee1]

This is probably the best piece of business we could realistically do right now. Superb news.

[WeveGotMcginn]

Brilliant news- came on leaps & bounds the last year or so

Clearly Squirrel has pulled his nuts out of his sack and given us all an early Christmas present. Merry Christmas, starman.

[The Spaceman]

Brilliant news - the kind of footballer I love watching and a Scottish Cup winning legend :not worth

[Firestarter]

Fantastic news. Fantastic attitude and a fantastic player. Player of the year so far me.

[Tornadoes70]

This is very welcome news. Great stuff Squirrel and well done to the club hierarchy.

:thumbsup:

[superfurryhibby]

Well deserved.

[yonder1875]

Fantastic news. Fantastic attitude and a fantastic player. Player of the year so far me.

Me too. Honourable mention to Paul Hanlon, though.

[Famousfivehh]

Has improved massively this year. Great news.

[Nicho87]

Good to hear. Fingers crossed for Dylan to follow. Building a team around him, Hanlon, Ambrose, Marciano are key when McGinn does inevitably get sold.

[monktonharp]

kept hoping that he would start this season staying oaf his erse, and get his act together controlling the ba' . he's done both, and to hear that he has signed on again is good news all round:aok:

[blackpoolhibs]

Great news, he always had great pace, and always created trouble for the opposition. He was a bit raw, but has matured into a very good player who is an important part of our team.

Some folk said he was an impact player at best, but i always thought he was more than that. Well done squirrel, for improving and for making it impossible for the manager to leave you out. :top marks

[monktonharp]

Good to hear. Fingers crossed for Dylan to follow. Building a team around him, Hanlon, Ambrose, Marciano are key when McGinn does inevitably get sold.Dylan doing the same would be fandabbydosie. c'mon Dylan, it's chistmas time

[Thecat23]

Can’t think of a player who’s improved so much in such a short time. You can see he’s more direct and is reading the game much better than when he first came to the club.

I really rate him and am delighted he’s signed on again.

[Northernhibee]

He deserves all the credit in the world for how hard he's worked to improve and add more and more elements to his game. He's got the Lewis Stevenson attitude - never say die, give everything you can and improve as much as you can.

I've always said "If we had eleven players with Lewis' attitude we'd win the league" - we're up to two now, arguably three with Simon Murray - eight to go and we'll raise the Scottish Flag :hyper

[007]

Nice one Squirrel...

Boyle for Scotland.

[Firestarter]

Me too. Honourable mention to Paul Hanlon, though.

Most consistent Scottish defender in our league for almost 2 years now and I'm a critic.

[HFCdeb]

Brilliant news.

[Nevi_SOL]

Nice one Squirrel...

Boyle for Scotland.

I don’t see why not. 10x better that Forrest and Phillips

[J-C]

I wouldn't have thought the contract he signed previously was much more than what he was already on, this will be an improved deal with more money and an extra year or two, as has been said he's become an important player for us and the club are rewarding him.

[Ozyhibby]

Great news. One of the most dangerous players in the league just now.

Getting better and better. Good to secure on longer deal

[Pete]

I was pretty underwhelmed when we fist signed him and considered him a back up.

His pace terrifies defenders but he's added so much more to his game since he's arrived, making more than worthy of getting a starting jersey against any opposition.

...and the boy is a legend. :cup:

[Peevemor]

Is that a new method of negotiation?

[Vault Boy]

Excellent news. Well earned, he's been great this year.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Role model for younger players. Great attitude to keep sticking in.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

He’s been brilliant since he sobered up from the cup final celebrations

;)

Excellent news and shows how the squad are responding and progressing under Lennon

Odd given how prominent they are now to think that he, and to a similar extent Bartley, never played a minute of the final.

[SChibs]

I love boyle but that is some statement!

[bigwheel]

I don’t see why not. 10x better that Forrest and Phillips

Perhaps a little bit of Hibs bias here? [emoji3][emoji3]

Forrest is actually having his best season, I would say, up there with player of the season for them so far.....

Boyle has come in leaps and bounds though - so delighted he has signed on..

Always liked him when he first joined despite him being a bit hot and cold with no real end product. The past few seasons he's improved rapidly and been the star man. Delighted with this!

[Elephant Stone]

Very, very happy about this.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Stubbs found a gem and Lennon polished it

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Excellent news.....club legend

[Jones28]

We've been crying out for a player like him since Sproule left after his first term with us.

Delighted he's signed on and I've every confidence he will continue to add to his game.

[InchHibby]

Absolute brilliant news, so very much improved since Lennon came, now for John and Dylan, this would be a great Xmas present.:flag:

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Did he not long sign a new one?

[Billy Whizz]

Did he not long sign a new one?

2 year deal in the summer

[Bostonhibby]

Another good piece of business by a club travelling in the right direction. Really like him so pleased with this.

[Since90+2]

Just a small point but I dont think he has actually signed yet but has agreed to (as per Hibs AGM update) sign an extension. Hope it gets signed soon as he is now one of our most important players and one of the best attacking players in the league.

[Nicho87]

Couldn't imagine Boyle telling Lennon now he has had a change of heart. 😂

Great news. No reason with current form continued he can't break into Scotland team.

Boyle or Jamie Walker doesn't even take me this sentence to decide who id rather have

[Souter96Mac]

Hero for his post cup final antics, another quality player with a cracking attitude, who can also have a laugh. It's players like these who have helped brought the club closer to the fans, which has all be masterminded by Dempster and Co.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Great news, probably the most improved player at ER in the last year. Its not just his attacking prowess that's impressive but his willingness to track back when we lose the ball. If Barker has come on loan to ER to improve his game he could do worse than look at Martin's attitude and work rate off the ball.

[Smartie]

I've liked Squirrel since he arrived at ER.

When he first came here he was very raw, all about his blinding pace.

He's clearly worked hard and is now a far more complete player.

Boyle always seemed to be a bit of an unsung hero - for a wide player (who often blow hot and cold) he's very consistent.

He now seems to be receiving some much deserved praise.

It would be a fantastic piece of business to tie him down to a longer deal, as he could find himself being pretty in-demand. He has a lot of attributes that bigger clubs find desirable.

[Ronniekirk]

He deserves to be rewarded for his displays this Season and it allows us to ramp up any potential Transfer fee it someone wants to prise him away
Good piece of Business by the Club

Before Boyle I'd forgotten what a winger was.

[Argylehibby]

I don’t see why not. 10x better that Forrest and Phillips

his diving isn't up to the same standard as Forrest though and Forrest's not that great at it anyway :wink:

[J-C]

2 year deal in the summer


We don't know the details of that contract in the summer, this may be a new better package due to his improved performances so far this season, well done Hibs. :thumbsup:

[Sean1875]

His improvement in the last year has been nothing short of incredible - thoroughly deserved and will play a big part in our success in the years to come :aok:

[1van Sprou7e]

Has he been better this season than Sproule ever was for us?

If your answer is yes, when was the least time we had a winger as good as Boyle?

[PatHead]

Great news.

[wookie70]

Role model for younger players. Great attitude to keep sticking in. Not in terms of driving a car. Great attitude though and does what good players do, improve year on year

[Eyrie]

Must admit that I expected Boyle to be an impact sub in this league, not the guaranteed starter that he deservedly is, so I'm delighted by his new deal.

[ian cruise]

We don't know the details of that contract in the summer, this may be a new better package due to his improved performances so far this season, well done Hibs. :thumbsup:

A great incentive for other like Murray too. Doesn't matter if you've a few years left on your contract, if your performances are show you deserve an improved deal then you'll get one.

[erin go bragh]

Brilliant news . Hopefully Dylan signs and SJM signs an extension ( which gets him a better salary and us a bigger fee , when he gets a big move )

[neil7908]

Great to hear, if he keeps up these performances clubs will be sniffing around him come summer.

Hibs tinted glasses were and still are on maybe but.
I’m only basing my opinion on what I’ve seen for Scotland
