Smith signs Hibs extension

Hibs goalkeeper Jordan Smith has signed a new deal with the club, keeping him at Easter Road until the summer of 2028.

Smith joined the club last summer after leaving Stockport County and came into the first team in November after a string of mistakes by fellow keeper Josef Bursik.

The 30-year-old has kept six clean sheets in 19 appearances this season, and has now extended his stay in the Scottish capital.

"We've really enjoyed working with Jordan, and we're delighted he's extended his stay with us," head coach David Gray said.

"He worked hard whilst waiting for his opportunity at the start of the season, and has gone from strength-to-strength since coming into the starting XI.

"Jordan uses his experience well both on and off the pitch, and is a really good influence in the dressing room."

Sporting Director Malky Mackay added: "This deal is excellent news for both Hibs and Jordan, and he deserves it due to his attitude and performances this season.

"He is the type of character that we want in our environment both on and off the field, and is a real experienced professional in the dressing room.

"Work is always going on behind the scenes as we plan the squad from both a short and long-term perspective, and we look forward to seeing Jordan perform for Hibs for years to come."
