New Hibs manager Neil Lennon has been quoted as saying that he can make Paul Hanlon a better player. He now has the chance to prove that as the central defender, who made his debut in 2008, has signed a new three year deal with the Easter Road side as they prepare for another season in the Championship. There had been some interest from Aberdeen in Hanlon's serviced but he has decided to stick in Edinburgh.
Hanlon said: "I’m delighted to extend my stay for another three seasons. There is a real excitement following the end to the season and with Neil coming in, and I’m looking forward to getting started again. The fans have been brilliant with me throughout my time here, and it’s great to see so many signed up for next season already. I’m now determined to build on our success from last season and get Hibs back to the Premiership."
