Hibs have today revealed that young striker Jason Cummings has signed a new deal with the club.
The 18-year-old, who signed from Hutchison Vale just last year, after being freed by capitak rivals Hearts, has signed a 3-year-deal, keeping himm tied to Easter Road until summer 2017.
Cummings was the subject of two failed bids by English Premiership side Swansea City a few weeks back, and Hibs have moved quickly to tie him down on a longer, improved contract.
Speaking to the official club website, the hitman said:
"The past 12 months have been unreal for me - I've gone from working as a gardener to playing in the first team of one of the biggest clubs in Scotland.
"The jump has been big, but I'm confident I can now build on the start I've made and really kick on during the upcoming season.
"I've still got plenty to learn and I believe the coaches here will help me to develop into becoming a better player.
"Hibs gave me a chance and I will always be grateful to the club for that and I know this is the right place for me to progress with my career."
Hibs boss Alan Stubbs added:
"We're very pleased that Jason has signed a new deal - he is still very raw, but he is a young player with huge potential.
"He's only been in full-time football for a year, but has already made an impact and, as long as he keeps learning, focusing and improving, he can go a long way and enjoy a good career.
"We are getting the right balance in the squad with a blend of youth and experience and for the younger lads this season will provide them with an opportunity to show everybody what they're all about.
"Our supporters have already seen that Jason is a potential match winner and now it's about helping him to develop into a top-level striker, who can consistently perform well and score goals."
