Martin Boyle has handed Hibs a massive boost by penning a 12-month extension to his current Easter Road deal.
Record Sport revealed the Edinburgh side had booted out a £500,000 bid from Scottish Premiership rivals Aberdeen for the winger earlier this week.
And now the 28-year-old has committed himself to the club for an extra year beyond his initial contract which was due to expire in 2023.
Boyle bagged 12 goals in 15 games last season which was his most successful and the former Dundee man is now looking to kick on.
He told the Hibs club website : “It’s a great feeling to agree a new deal at a football club that means a lot to me and my family.
“Everyone can see how much I’m enjoying it here and how my own game is benefitting from that.
“As a team we’re always looking to improve and that’s key for me. Everyone can see the desire from the club, the players, and the management staff to progress and challenge for trophies and European football; that excites me and that’s where I want to be.
“If we keep working hard, then hopefully we will be able to create more highs than the ones we’ve already had.”
Boss Jack Ross added: “Last season, his numbers for goals and assists were outstanding, and he’s started exactly the same this season as well. You can tell he’s feeling good and he’s right at it.
“For me, he’s as good as anyone in this country in his position, and long may it continue because he’s a major asset for us.
“He’s also a really good character, brings energy to the club every day, and works really hard for the team. He’s a player of real quality and a really good person for us to have at this football club.
“I’ve had long conversations with our new CEO Ben Kensell about building something here and he has been hugely supportive in aiming to keep our best players at the club.”
