HIBERNIAN left back Lewis Stevenson today signed a contract extension that ties him to the Easter Road club until 2021.
Stevenson has spent his entire career at the Leith club and has made a total of 424 appearances since making his debut aged 17 in 2005.
The defender, who came through the youth ranks at the Ladbrokes Premiership club, helped Hibs win the League Cup in 2007 and Scottish Cup in 2016.
The 30-year-old, who made his debut for Scotland against Peru in Lima during the summer, admitted he is keen to help Neil Lennon's side enjoy more success in the coming campaigns.
“I’m delighted to extend my deal for another couple of years," he said. "It’s a great honour to be involved with this club.
“Every footballer will say that you keep learning things week in, week out. Every game there are some things where you think that you should have done it differently.
“Hopefully that will stand me in good stead. I’m always open minded and interested in new ideas and new things involving football.
“I know I have been here a while, but hopefully I’ve got a bit more to give.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
