Brilliant

That's great news, love the guy.

[007]

Great news. 🙂

[Shrekko]

A sensible move and it’s great news he’s going to be around for a while longer. Still playing at a good level, and with 2 young lads vying for the same position they couldn’t have a better role model.

Would question whether we can afford to continue to carry three left backs.

With Stevenson still being around, wonder if Mackie’s time could be up.

I think that would be a logical suggestion.

Doig is the future, Stevenson to mentor etc. Sensible contract extension.

Doig is a CB and likely PHs successor. Dont write Mackie off

I doubt the wages of all 3 combined amount to very much at all.

Good stuff

Invaluable experience to have around the place.

League cup x 1, Scottish cup x 1, appearances x 500

A bit odd that there are posters who said on numerous Red Bull Edinburgh threads that they would happily trade in the club's name and colours for the chance at winning a league title because they are "ambitious", yet when it comes to running down the contract of a left back who's clearly past his best (which wasn't much of a best to begin with) they find their sentimental side.

His best is winning 2 domestic cups. Considering no other player in the club's history has ever achieved that, his best definitely was very good. A club legend. Nothing sentimental about it.

Deleted, as don’t want to fuel those who are negative on this appreciation/ celebration thread ...

[04Sauzee]

Absolutely delighted, met him a few times just our and about and he's a genuinely nice guy, also a fantastic servant to the club.

📈 Evergreen Lewis Stevenson is still producing the goods.

📊 Compared to other Premiership left-backs (>300 minutes this season), Lewis...

✅ Tops the league in passing accuracy (84%), dribble success (80%) and challenge success (68%).
✅ Is second for tackle success (79%). https://t.co/5bBMWWfgcB

Must be some misunderstanding here.

I read he was finished.

Fair play to him, those are impressive stats. That said, he will 99% of the time take a touch and pass to the player closest to him so it is no surprise his passing accuracy is so high? Out of interest, what defines 'dribbling success' - is that beating a player or travelling so far with the ball?

[Billy Whizz]

Well deserved Lewis

[Since452]

He'll need to move house if he wins the League Cup this season. Running out of space for his medals.

[superfurryhibby]

Well deserved. Lewis still has plenty left in the tank.

amazing news - delighted for him. and Mackie and Doig who will grow with him being around....

[Pretty Boy]

His days as an automatic pick may be nearing an end but it's brilliant he is going to be around for a while longer yet.

Both the young LBs seem to have nothing but good things to say about him and he seems genuinely pleased to be a mentor to them.

[wookie70]

He may have moved from automatic first pick to competing with others or squad player but still well worth a contract and nice to actually have two different style of player at LB with Stevenson defensive and the young guns more forward thinking.

[Vault Boy]

Wonderful. 💚

[danhibees1875]

600 appearances is just round the corner.

In all seriousness, I can't see any negatives to him being around the club for longer - regardless of whether he plays regularly or not.

[HoboHarry]

Great stuff. It may be asking a lot for him to get to the 600's but sincerely hope that he does, #mancrush......

[jacomo]

I diligently did some research all by myself, stats fans:


When compared to other Premiership left-backs who have played more than 300 minutes this season (to offer a worthwhile sample size), Lewis tops the league in terms of his passing accuracy (84%), dribble success (80%) and challenge success (68%). He is second in the table for tackle success (79%).

[Ozyhibby]

Good decision as he is still contributing weekly. Happy for him. Interesting he didn’t get the gold plated 4 year deal McGregor and Gray got?
