Hibernian has made a significant move by signing young footballer Lewis Gillie to a two-year professional contract. The 18-year-old defender will remain at Easter Road until 2028, marking a key step in his promising career. Gillie, who previously had a loan spell at Arbroath in the Championship, has shown great potential in Hibernian's youth setup. Head coach David Gray praised Gillie's performance, particularly noting his debut against Clydebank in the Scottish Cup, where he impressed with his skills and confidence. Gray believes that this new contract is a well-deserved recognition of Gillie's hard work and achievements over the years. Malky Mackay, Hibernian's sporting director, expressed delight at the signing, emphasizing the importance of developing young talent through the club's academy. Gillie's experience in senior football last season is expected to greatly benefit his growth as he continues to develop at Hibernian.
