Campbell – who has been at the Club since the age of 8 – further extended his time at Hibs signing a contract extension until Summer 2027.
Speaking to Hibs TV, the midfielder told us how happy he was to sign a new deal and explained his reasoning for extending his stay.
“I’m absolutely buzzing with it, to be honest.
“Hibs means a lot to me, it always helps when you are a fan. The Club has trusted me and I have put trust in the Club, so it’s a good connection that we’ve got. I feel like this is the best place for me to progress in my career and that is why have signed a new deal.
“The Club came forward and asked if I wanted to stay around a bit longer, and of course, it was easy for me to say yes.”
Josh has progressed up the age grades before making his First Team debut as a teenager in 2019. Since then, the versatile midfielder spent a season with FC Edinburgh before making his breakthrough season at Hibs during the 2021/22 campaign.
Now, playing in a more advanced role under Hibs Manager Lee Johnson, Campbell has been thriving, scoring eight goals and adding five assists in 29 appearances so far.
“It has been a lot better year for me, in comparison to last season. I am enjoying playing in a higher role on the pitch – I’ve got a good connection with Élie and Nizzy and we all work well together.
“I feel the fans are beginning to see the best of me now, but there is no time to stop, it’s up to me to continue my form and get more goals and assists.
“I’ve always trusted my ability to score goals and being a threat. The Gaffer always talks about and encourages me to get myself running into the box and winning those second balls.
“A few of my goals have come through latching onto the second balls, so I think that is one of the best parts of my game.”
When discussing his progression at Hibs, Campbell highlighted two key factors – the coaching staff and his own physical development.
“The Gaffer has had a massive impact on me. We spoke a few months ago and set a few targets in terms of goals and assists. It is not just the Gaffer, David Gray, Adam Owen and Macca (Jamie McAllister) have all been really good with me.
“I have got a lot stronger in the gym, I have lost a lot of body fat as well so I am a lot fitter and stronger than before.”
Having committed his future at the Club to the summer of 2027, Campbell outlined what he hoped to achieve in both the long and short term.
“I am hoping that I can start testing the water with the Scotland National Team. I got a good taste for it at U21 level. Now I am looking to try and make that next step.
"In terms of Hibs, I just want to keep up the good performances and help the team finish as high as we can in the league this season.
“We have another big game against Kilmarnock this weekend, which we have trained very hard for.
“We had a patch earlier in the season when we were winning games, and we feel we’ve got that back so we are all looking forward to it.”
