Hibernian FC is excited to announce that Lewis Gillie has signed a new contract with the club, extending his stay at Easter Road until 2028. The 18-year-old defender, who has already made a name for himself as a Scotland U19 international, became the club's sixth youngest appearance-maker when he debuted at just 16 years old in January 2025. Gillie's first-team debut came off the bench during a Scottish Cup match against Clydebank, showcasing his potential early on. Last season, he gained valuable experience on loan at Arbroath in the Scottish Championship, where he made two appearances. Hibernian's Head Coach David Gray praised Gillie's achievements, stating that he fully deserves this new contract as recognition for his hard work and talent. Gray emphasized Gillie's strong character and potential, expressing confidence that he will continue to develop into a key player for Hibernian. Sporting Director Malky Mackay also expressed delight at Gillie's contract extension, highlighting the importance of nurturing young talent through the club's academy system. With his recent experiences and a new contract, fans can look forward to seeing Gillie's growth at Hibernian in the coming years.
