Brilliant news.

As long as he stays fit.

***hibees 7062*** · 26-05-2015 03:07 PM

Delighted

**SlickShoes** · 26-05-2015 03:08 PM

Brilliant, he was easily one of our best players all season.

***matty_f*** · 26-05-2015 03:10 PM

New club captain as well. Great bit of news.

Hopefully the first of many announcements. This is where Hibs will shift season tickets, by securing good players and building an exciting team. It's not going to break the bank getting our good players tied down, and hopefully the fans see the ambition, buy into it, and give Stubbs the money to bring new players in.

***JimBHibees*** · 26-05-2015 03:10 PM

Wonder if this means Fontaine not staying, hope not.

**pontius pilate** · 26-05-2015 03:13 PM

Great news can only hope it's the first of many extensions and new signings

I feel it would make more sense to announce the players out of contract who aren't being offered renewals at the same time, so considering that Craig is the only confirmed departure, might that not suggest the opposite for Fontaine? If a player isn't being offered a new deal, that's that, it can be announced readily, however every new contract/extension is subjective, some take longer than others, there are so many differing demands, circumstances and factors that effect the progress of new deals, so it's not always possible to announce new contracts simultaneously. That's not saying he won't leave, but it certainly appears that Hibs are at least trying to secure a new contract for Fontaine.

***California-Hibs*** · 26-05-2015 03:18 PM

Mr Captain fantastic! Great news, been a brilliant player for us so far!

**Hannah_hfc** · 26-05-2015 03:18 PM

Great news about Gray, hope we can secure a few others (particularly Fontaine) and have a team that know each other well for the start of next season!

By Gray being captain? Gray was the vice captain this season with Fontaine filling in when both Craig and Gray were not in the team. Stubbs obviously rates Gray as a captain more than Fontaine so I wouldn't read too much into whether this has an influence over Fontaine staying.

***Diclonius*** · 26-05-2015 03:20 PM

Delighted. Our best right back since Whittaker.

Now to get Fontaine, Allan, Boyle, Fyvie and McGeouch on new deals.

Ok hope you are right.

**Onceinawhile** · 26-05-2015 03:29 PM

Great news. Best right back we've had for ages and we missed him when he was injured.

**Hibby Gav** · 26-05-2015 03:34 PM

Great News...good business Hibs...now for deals or extensions for Misters Fontaine, Allan and Fyvie !

**Onion** · 26-05-2015 03:37 PM

Great news. Quality player who'll make a good captain.

**SkootTheCat** · 26-05-2015 03:46 PM

Awesome news.

**The_Exile** · 26-05-2015 03:51 PM

Great news about Gray!

With regards to Fontaine, I know there was an issue where he wasn't going to uproot his family for a 1 year deal this year, so hopefully we can offer him a longer term deal so he can get his family up and settle down for a few years.
