Martin Boyle will remain at Hibernian beyond the summer.
The Australian internationalist has had a contract extension clause triggered by the club.
Boyle's contract was set to expire in the summer, but he will now remain at Hibs until at least the summer of 2026 through the extension clause.
On triggering Boyle’s contract extension, head coach David Gray said: “We’re delighted to extend Martin’s contract, and this decision makes complete sense for the Football Club.
“Boyler has been an outstanding servant to Hibernian FC and his contribution on the field has been demonstrated yet again this season with his invaluable goals and assists.

"Not only that, he has also stepped into the role of Captain in Joe’s absence and has demonstrated his leadership qualities with extra responsibility.
“Having played with him and coached him, he is the type of player that knows exactly what it means to play for Hibernian FC, and he will be a real asset for us next year.”
Hibs sporting director, Malky Mackay added: “Martin has had an excellent campaign in front of goal, and he has played a key role in helping the Club achieve European football for next season.
“He’s an influential member of the dressing room and has grown as a leader this season with the added responsibility of being vice-captain. Martin’s got a long affiliation with the Club – his wife is the Captain of the Women’s Team – and he has a young family here too, so the extension made perfect sense for all parties involved.
“We’re looking to the future, having Martin as part of next year’s squad, as we enter an exciting time for the Football Club.”
