Boss Gray agrees new three-year Hibernian contract

Hibernian head coach David Gray has accepted a new contract that will run until 2028.

Additionally, assistant coaches Eddie May, Craig Samson, and Liam Craig have agreed to stay longer at Easter Road.

Former first team coach and club captain Gray, 36, completed his fourth season as caretaker manager last June and was given a three-year contract to do it full-time.

With five games left, Gray’s side travel to the Dons on Saturday (15:00) and are three points clear of Dundee United and Aberdeen.

The board’s support is something I’ve been very open about, and it means a lot to me to be supported by [owners] the Gordon Family and [sporting director] Malky Mackay.

The season has had its ups and downs, but everyone’s hard work has contributed to the turnaround we’ve experienced. The players and the staff have worked tirelessly to put us in the position where the [Premiership] split is now.

We want to keep making the supporters proud as a group as a whole. We can’t thank them enough for supporting us every step of the way this season.

According to Mackay, the management team “deserves their new contracts.”
