The experienced midfielder has signed a new contract that runs until the summer of 2025.
Newell became a Hibee back in 2019 and thrived after transitioning into the middle of midfield. He’s just shy of 100 appearances now in green and white and has two goals to his name, the latter came in the Premier Sports Cup Quarter-Final at Dundee Utd.
He’s a firm favourite among the supporters for his strong work ethic, ability on the ball, and bite in a tackle. Alongside this, he’s become a leader on the pitch for Shaun Maloney’s side and takes an active role in helping the younger players.
It’s not just on the pitch where the 29-year-old plays an influential role, he’s a huge character off it with his jovial personality.
On Joe Newell’s contract, Shaun Maloney commented: “I’m really pleased that Joe has committed to the Club for what I believe will be peak years in his career.
“In terms of what we are trying to build here for the long-term, Joe is an integral and really influential player. Not only has he demonstrated a consistent high level of technical performance on the pitch, he plays a very important leadership role within the squad.
“He’s a real example to the young players we have in the squad, and he can be a big player as we continue to evolve moving forward, striving to achieve our goals. The strong competitive side of his game drives the team in the biggest of matches and I believe he can improve even more through the work he is doing with myself and my coaching staff.
“Joe has a real connection with the Club and our supporters, and we’re all delighted that he’s signed this new deal.”
