Can he pass the pen to Dylan and then John

[wookie70]

Great news, my player of the year so far and looking more like captain material as the months roll on.

[PatHead]

Great news. My player of the year

[guthrie01]

Brilliant news, hopefully we can persuade Dylan to sign a new 4 year deal too !

[Mr White]

Brilliant news. Hopefully a few more sign up soon to help keep building the good atmosphere we have around the club just now.

This decent glass of wine suddenly tastes all that much finer.:wink:

Well done Paul :thumbsup:

Brilliant news, love the man. Let's hope it's the first of several players to sign a new contract / permanent contract (for the loanees).

[Babyshamble]

Fantastic news 👍

Surely getting the captains armband next season?

[Tinribs]

Great news, but that article had me worried for a minute. It says the Ross county game was this afternoon, had to frantically check the schedule lol

[StevieCowan]

Fantastic news. Deligted for Hibs and the player.

[1van Sprou7e]

Living legend, love big Paul

Wonder if he'll end up spending his whole career at Hibs? Same goes for lewie of course.

Probably unlikely as players of their calibre tend to want to carry on playing once their ability diminishes but the fact that we can imagine it at this stage of their careers is something else

To have two potential 1 club men playing for Hibs at the same time is wonderful, this Hibs team is ridiculously likeable as a fan

Edit: just realised he was loaned to st Johnstone so wouldn't technically be a 1 club man :(

[Bishop Hibee]

Great news. He’s been really solid this season.

[Seveno]

Fantastic news. Hibs legend playing the best football of his career.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Superb. That guy is an absolute legend.

[Wembley67]

New bairn, new house, no chance was he ever leaving!

[truehibernian]

New bairn, new house, no chance was he ever leaving!

I also wonder if it's because clubs have been enquiring :cb

Delighted for him, best centre half in the league at the moment :agree: doesn't have to wear a gum shield or hoof a ball until there is snow on it either :greengrin:aok:

[Thecat23]

Another player who again gets Hibs and what it means to play for the club. Delighted for him!

[Lancs Harp]

and keep the faith Paul you will get your chance with Scotland.

Hope he does because for me deserves at least a shot at it.

Great news! Well done Paul. Good bit of business by the club. Hope some other team members do likewise.

Anyone who thinks Jack Hendry (or Berra) are the answer to Scotland's centre half problem needs their collective heads examined TC :agree:

[The Harp Awakes]

Wow! Didn't see that coming. Classy player and Hibs through and through. Made my day:hyper

[scotia44]

A proper pro and with the newborn hopefully it gives paul and his family peace of mind and means that paul can fully concentrate on football
Paul and Lewis are underestimated due to their loyalty but few clubs can have or wish for better servants to that I am grateful to you both 👏

[Santa Cruz]

Totes amaze. Well done Paul and Hibs.

[Sir David Gray]

Brilliant news.

Now for Dylan McGeouch.

[matty_f]

Great bit of business from Hibs. Hanlon is a cracking player coming into his prime.

A loan doesn't count. His contract was still with Hibs.

He's a one club player.

[Lancs Harp]

Brilliant news.

Now for Dylan McGeouch.

Dylan will sign.

[RyeSloan]

Absolutely bloody brilliant news [emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji1303]

How long did he have left on his current deal?

I thought he still had another year to run after this season but might be wrong.

Where is he from, is he an Edinburgh lad?

Not sure where from originally, but stays in Kirkliston now.

He was under contract until the end of next season so it's a 3 year extension.

Yes he was born in Edinburgh.

[ano hibby]

Great news.
Anyone know how many appearances he’s clocked up? Pretty experienced back line at the moment!

339 appearances so far.

[ian cruise]

Genuine modern day legend and will be remembered for a long time. Player of the year for me. I still believe he's underrated by much of out support, and definitely by those who don't support us.

[aljo7-0]

Delighted to read this. Great player for us.

After his pass for Kamberi's third on Tuesday, brought to mind that he was potentially worth a fair bit of money now. Even before this contract.

[JohnMcM]

A happy Hibee here.:greengrin

[Elephant Stone]

Wow, tremendous news :top marks

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Fantastic news, well done Hibs.

[IGRIGI]

Have to say in some ways relegation was the making of him, I wasn't his biggest fan in years gone by but he's tremendous now and has strolled the top flight in the first season back.

Hard to believe he's only 28 given how long he's been in and about the squad.

[Brightside]

He has always been our best CH. anyone thinking otherwise has their eyes painted on. Played with some utter numpties but now even the blind can see. Our own Franco

[LustForLeith]

Could be the best signing we’ve made recently

[J-C]

Great news, a true Hibs fan still living the dream and like Lewis he'll be a one club man, very unusual in this day and age. :thumbsup:

It's not often you have 2 one club players playing at the same time.

Great news. Hanlon's a top player at this level and deserving of a Scotland cap.

Pretty sure he used to stay in the Chesser Avenue part of the city just off Gorgie Road.

Yes his family lived next door to a good friend of mine. He remembers Paul as a lovely lad and always a hibs supporter.

Might be wrong but I think he went to tynecastle primary?

Always thought it was brilliant that he scored that equaliser in the 2-2 derby just a matter of metres from where he went to school

He went to Tynie High 100%

[660]

Legend

[madhatter]

He has always been a quality player but an increase in physicality over the past 3-4 years has really started to make him stand out. He will never be as strong as McGregor but he is now able to bully opponents and win his headers with more ease, he used to be bullied but that's now a thing of the past. Great stuff.

Hope this is an indication of the approach the club is taking and the drastic change at the club. I hope we give players like Vykintas Slivka time and invest in their development rather than get rid of them after a poor 6 months etc. I remember a time when we'd have offloaded Boyle because of a bad run, I think there was a rumour in the past that Hanlon may have left us for free because we weren't going to renew his contract (may be wrong).

More new contracts for existing players would be great!
For potential signings, I hope we are looking at players like Glen Kamara!

Well done Paul, you've clearly put a lot of effort in to your game over the last 4 years and should be clear candidate for Club Captain next season. :thumbsup:

Jings, one club man and never missed a day of school either. Legend.
