Lewis Stevenson - New Contract

[SteveHFC]

Signed a new contract until 2024.

[JohnM1875]

Fully deserved! Really pleased with this.

[gbhibby]

Lewis doesn't need a pen to sign a new contract.

[blackpoolhibs]

:thumbsup::thumbsup::top marks

[hibee_girl]

Totally deserved and glad he’ll be around for at least another year 💚

[Northernhibee]

Thought pornography wasn’t allowed on here? :hyper

[Mon Dieu4]

Great news, chuffed at this

[Smartie]

Thank ****.

His recent performances have been excellent and there was no good reason that this hadn’t been done before now.

[Johnny_Leith]

Good news for all parties. Lewis has been excellent this season and certainly looks like he can contribute for another year. Hoping O.McIntyre gets a chance next season and we can see lewy used in a similar manner as to when Doig was coming through leading a natural succession in the LB position over the next 18-24 months.

[sleeping giant]

BK just wanted Lewis Stevensons autograph.

[Billy Whizz]

Congratulations Lewis

Really pleased about this. I know that everything cones to an end at some point but it will be a strange day when Lewis eventually does stop playing for Hibs. A genuine legend and all round good guy

[The Spaceman]

He’s been outstanding whenever he’s played this season - looks like he’s got a new lease of life (always of course been consistent). Delighted with this - a club legend.

[hibee]

About time he was offered a new contract, we keep signing replacements but none of them are really any better or more reliable.

[Hiber-nation]

Fantastic news 💚

[Off the bar]

Superb

[Paulie Walnuts]

Amazing.

The best non old firm left back in the last 15 years imo.

[Carheenlea]

Never lets us down, so only right the club don’t let Lewis Stevenson down by not offering a new deal.

Hopefully the terms reflect his contribution to the club over his lengthy time here.

[HH81]

Good stuff. Great player. 👏

[HibbyAndy]

That is brilliant news ! Still the best left back at the club , Amazing !

[Svengali]

This gives enough excitement to reverse a vasectomy

Another year of Mr Hibs

[Stevie Reid]

Never want him to leave but this new contract isn’t from sentiment - he’s still a hugely important player for us.

Still very quick, and his experience and tenacity are vital.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Brilliant and not just a token extension to a club legend - fully warranted based on performances.

[J-C]

Superb servant to the club and a cracking wee player too, still very fit for his age and doing his badges, what's not to like about this news.

[Paulie Walnuts]

There’s probably a hint of James Milner about him.

Play him anywhere and his ability, fitness, professionalism and tenacity will see him do a job.

We’re very lucky to have him.

[MWHIBBIES]

Thank **** for that.

[Bostonhibby]

Great news as far as I am concerned, Lewis is still getting a place on merit, yet another manager sees what he brings to the team.

Great news and full deserved, I'm hoping the plan is for Lewis and Oscar for next season.

Expect Cabraja to move on.

Well done Lewis and Hibs.

How many managers and LBs had he seen off now ?

[Donegal Hibby]

Brilliant news my favourite players got another contract . Lewy the legend :not worth

[hibby rae]

Come the end of that contract he'll be just shy of 19 years since his competitive debut 💚💚

Have to get it to 20.

[LewysGot2]

A double testimonial on the cards?

Absolute legend

[The Modfather]

Good news if we can move Cabraja on. Less so if it’s still Stevenson & Cabraja as our left backs next season.

[Just Alf]

Still very quick, and his experience and tenacity are vital.This is exactly my thoughts as well...


Really pleased he's been extended another year.
Hopefully there's stuff going on in the background regarding a coaching/support role if he's looking to head that direction in his career.

[Seveno]

Brilliant news. One of our top performers again this season and a wonderful example to the young players.

[Lago]

At the AST evening LJ said he was discussing moving into the recruitment team with Lewis...

[SHODAN]

Based

[lyonhibs]

The easiest and best decision ever for both parties there

[JamesHFC]

Congrats Lewis.

[jakedance]

Great news, and 100% deserved. Seems like every manager tries to replace him then realises what he’s got and gives him a new contract. A great servant to the club.

[Since452]

Tin hat on but I've never been his biggest fan. He's been excellent this season in my opinion though and thoroughly deserves the new contract.

[Eyrie]

Well deserved.

He's still our best LB so this was the sensible move. And I wouldn't bet against saying the same thing this time next year.

[007]

Great news.

[jacomo]

Well done Lewis and Hibs.

Even John Wick can’t match his body count.

[jacomo]

Lewis: ‘I’d like to play here for the rest of my career.’

Hibs: consider yourself telt.

[Keyser Sauzee]

65 games away from having the most appearances, be delighted if he achieved that

[Iain G]

For some reason my brain read that as John Wark 🤣

[matty_f]

Outstanding news. We mentioned after the last derby that it might have been Lewis' last one at Easter Rd and it was genuinely a horrible thought. Delighted he'll still be around next season.

[AgentDaleCooper]

A double testimonial on the cards?

Absolute legend

That would be truly brilliant :flag::flag::flag:

[ElginHibbie]

What a man, still performing very well at this level and think he's a great guy to have around the club, with him and Hanlon there is no better example of what it means to be a professional for the young lads to learn from

I really do hope he never leaves and can retire at Hibs on his own terms when that day comes

[MrSmith]

Absolutely delighted by this, Mr Hibs in my book :flag:

[Vini1875]

Pleased with this even if he just plays a bit part next season and helps to bring on a younger LB. Also I'd be happy if Lewis only ever played for Hibs. Top man.

[Leith Green]

I think theres room for 1 more cup winners medal for the wee man..

[jacomo]

Tin hat on but I've never been his biggest fan. He's been excellent this season in my opinion though and thoroughly deserves the new contract.


The manager is pleased with the new deal and says Lewis is ‘exactly the kind of person we want at this football club.’

Character and personal commitment is so important, Lewis’ influence goes beyond what he does on the pitch. I hope young players see his attitude and application as setting the standard. We’re a professional sports team and need our players to be absolute professionals. Talent alone is never enough.

seems to me that Lewis throughout his career has dedicated himself to bettering himself technically, fitness and game-wise. If only others would have that consistent dedication to improving as an athlete and player. I think thats how we take steps compete with the Glasgow 2.

He'd have done it already if poor managers didn't keep trying to replace him.

Expect Cabraja to move on.

Just another one to add to the lengthy list that hasn't been able to outperform Lewis over a season.

Doig the only one and he was given plenty of rope to improve, as well as Lewis' support.

[One Day Soon]

Absolutely delighted by this. Hopefully when he stops playing he will be straight on to our coaching staff.

Young Oscar couldn’t possibly get a better role model and mentor for next season.

[superfurryhibby]

Congratulations to Lewis on his new contract. The guy epitomises everything good about our club. He's a fantastic professional in every sense of the word, a double cup winning legend and still remains a very good left back. A good decision by our management team, the challenge is whether we can find someone good enough to compete for a place in the team, sadly I don't see Cabraja as being that man.

[EdinMike]

Tears. Of. Joy.. 🥲

[wookie70]

Delighted at the news. He still looks super fit and is probably stronger now than he has ever been. Yes, it would be nice to have Lewis as just a backup but it isn't easy to find someone that is better than him unless you spend a decent wedge. He should have played far more this season as he is far better than anyone else at the club in that role. I hope we can get McIntyre into the team in a similar way we did with Doig and have Lewis there to guide and support and also be on the park when needed. That isn't next year though, from what I have seen of McIntyre, but the year after. That has more to do with Oscar's size than ability as when Doig came in he was already a big, strong lad whose athletic ability was superb. Lewis looks to have at least a couple of seasons left at this level

[Tambo]

Just another one to add to the lengthy list that hasn't been able to outperform Lewis over a season.

Doig the only one and he was given plenty of rope to improve, as well as Lewis' support.

He looked decent in the first few games and to be honest he's not had the best of times recently.

Would wish him no harm and good luck if we can move him on, even a mutual consent.

[HoboHarry]

Busquets at Barcelona just realised he can't keep up with wee Lewis and quit Barcelona. Lewis Stevenson, crusher of souls.....

I think says a lot about Lewis that the only person to really oust him properly as a proper nailed on starting left back went on to play in Serie A after being sold for a couple million. We've been lucky to have him all these years.

[Lago]

Absolutely delighted by this. Hopefully when he stops playing he will be straight on to our coaching staff.
Well he said in his interview no to managing, he has no wish to be the main, but would like to get into coaching kids say up to 12 years so he can give back something from his experience, lovely guy.

[007]

Lewis's goals. Hopefully can get one v the Jambos before he hangs up his boots.

Good interview from Johnson. He speaks about Lewy's character and fitness levels, saying he brings more to the side than just his consistent level of performance.

"“What you’re seeing is a good footballer moving towards the end of his career, but I actually think still progressing. He’s out there doing every minute of every session, I think he’s got one of our highest rates of training ratios. He hasn’t lost any legs, therefore he can still offer on and off the pitch. That’s important. If you re-sign someone in the twilight of their career they need to add value to the playing squad or to the development squad or everywhere in between, and I think that’s something this club has been brilliant at".
