Paul Hanlon has signed a new three year deal with Hibernian FC.

The central defender, who made his debut in 2008, has committed his future to the Easter Road side as we prepare for life under new Head Coach Neil Lennon in 2016/17.

Paul said: “I’m delighted to extend my stay for another three seasons.

“There is a real excitement following the end to the season and with Neil coming in, and I’m looking forward to getting started again.

“The fans have been brilliant with me throughout my time here, and it’s great to see so many signed up for next season already.

“I’m now determined to build on our success from last season and get Hibs back to the Premiership.”

An interview with Paul will be available on Hibs TV later this afternoon.
