Last updated : 01 June 2015 By Steve Forbes

Hibs have today announced that midfield dynamo Fraser Fyvie has signed a new deal with the club.

The 22-year-old has signed a two-year-deal with the club, that keeps him tied to Easter Road until summer 2017.

Fyvie signed for the Hibees in January, on a short term deal, after his release from Wigan Athletic, and has been super in the engine room of the midfield.

Speaking to the official website, Fyvie said:

"I'm delighted to sign the deal and I'm massively excited about what we can achieve next season.

"When I first came to the club, I signed a six-month deal and now I've been given the opportunity to sign a two year contract - I'd like to thank the manager and the club for the faith they've shown in me.

"Moving back up to Scotland has been really beneficial to my career, the manager gave me a platform to play games and I wanted to repay him by committing my future to the club for the next two years.

"I also wanted to get everything sorted out as quickly as possible, so that I could plan ahead with my family.

"This was an easy and exciting decision to make.

"I think we just missed out last season; everyone came away from it disappointed, but I'm confident that next season we can take the extra step and go up.

"Everyone within the squad believes we've started to build something special here at the club and now we want to kick on and achieve success."

Hibs boss Alan Stubbs added:

"We're delighted that Fraser has agreed to commit his future to the club.

"He is a quality player with huge promise.

"His decision to sign a new deal is a real coup for Hibernian and underlines our ambitions for the future.

"We're confident that Fraser will continue to progress and mature into an outstanding midfielder and the fact he has decided to continue his development here at Hibernian will give everybody a lift."

Superb news.
