Hibernian forward Martin Boyle has signed a two-year contract extension at the Easter Road club.
The 24-year-old started his career at Montrose before moving to Dundee in 2012 and joined Hibs on a permanent basis in June 2015 following a six-month loan stint in Leith.
Boyle, who has scored 18 goals in 93 appearances for the club, won the 2016 Scottish Cup and the Championship this season and said he is looking forward to playing for the side in the top flight next term.
"I'm really pleased to be staying here at Hibs. Ever since I made my debut for the club I've enjoyed my time here and when I was offered a new deal it was hard to say no - especially as I've made so many good memories in the two and a half years," he told hibernianfc.co.uk.
"My goal when I first joined was to win promotion back to the top flight and it was great to achieve that last year. I'm really looking forward to the next campaign and playing in the Premiership at Easter Road."
Head coach Neil Lennon said he is delighted that Boyle has agreed to extend his stay at Hibs.
"Keeping a hold of Martin is a real positive for the club. He can play in a variety of positions and always gives 100 per cent, and his pace is a great asset to have," he said.
"His game isn't just about pace, he can also score goals, lay on assists and is able to help us transition from defence to attack. Personally, I'm really glad that he has stayed on for the next two years."
