HIBS today confirmed that development squad midfielders Aaron Scott and Jordan Sinclair have signed contract extensions which tie them to the Easter Road club to the summer of 2016.

Scotland Under-17 internationalist Scott joined the Edinburgh club in January while Sinclair has been on the books at the Championship outfit for four years.

Alan Stubbs, the Hibs manager whose side will play in the SPFL Premiership Play-Off semi-final later this month, is hoping both players can follow their contemporaries into the first team.

Speaking to the official Hibs website, Stubbs said: "This is more good news coming out of our academy.

"There is a clear pathway through from the Academy to the first team squad and the incentives are there for players to seize their opportunities.

"As a club, it is important that we develop young players, who will contribute at first team level.

"We've already seen the likes of Scott Martin, Callum Crane, Lewis Allan and Aaron Dunsmore commit to contract extensions and it's great to see both Aaron and Jordon do the same.

"Ensuring that all of our promising young players are on board is important for the future of this football club."
