In a surprising turn of events that has delighted Hibs fans, Martin Boyle has penned a new one-year contract with Hibernian, extending his stay at Easter Road despite earlier indications that this season would be his last with the club.

The 33-year-old winger, who had been linked with a move to Aberdeen and other clubs, will now continue his second spell in Edinburgh. This news comes as a major boost for the team, especially considering manager David Gray had previously confirmed that Boyle's current deal would mark his final campaign with the club.

"There have been positive talks around his future and he is going to be staying another year," Gray revealed to BBC Scotland ahead of the Motherwell match. "It's a big decision for him and his family and his advisers, and the Gordon family from the investments made across the time. We feel this is right for everybody."

The Australian international's impact extends far beyond the pitch. "You see what he brings to the football club. What he brings, not just on the pitch but off it as well, it's brilliant for everyone involved," Gray added, highlighting Boyle's leadership and influence in the dressing room.

For fans looking to show their support, this contract extension is the perfect excuse to grab some new Hibs gear. Whether you're heading to Easter Road or watching from home, a fresh kit or a Boyle jersey is a must-have this season.
