Joe Newell 'loving' Hibs life as he explains factors behind new contract until 2025

Joe Newell admits he's delighted to extend his stay at Hibernian.

The 29-year-old has put pen to paper on a contract extension until 2025.

Newell admits he's loved at time at Easter Road since he joined from Rotherham United in 2019.

So when Hibs boss Shaun Maloney asked him to sign up for an extra two yours, Newell didn't have to think twice and he's explained why

“The gaffer pulled me in a few weeks ago and said he wanted to extend my stay here," he told Hibs TV.

"I’ve loved it since I’ve been here – that’s why I signed the new contract last season, so to get that call, for the manager to want me to extend it even further, was really nice.

“Enjoying your life on the whole is the main thing and I wanted to make sure it was right for me and my partner.

"As soon as we knew we were happy to stay here for a bit longer, the next thing was where I saw the club going, and the club is going in a direction that I want to be involved in.

"Since I first came in, it has come on leaps and bounds in every way. You look at the success we’ve had on the pitch, the way the club has moved forward.

"We’ve got new ownership, new management, a new style of playing, new players, the academy and how that’s growing and moving forward.

"The whole feeling around the club was a massive reason in why I wanted to stay.”
