The 19-year-old attacker has quickly risen through the ranks at the Club, starting at the Girls Academy, to become one of our most promising youngsters in recent years.
Scoring her first hat-trick as a professional footballer last Sunday against Hamilton in an emphatic 8-1 victory, Eilidh was in high spirits as she signed her extension:
“It shows the belief the Club has in me. Being a massive Hibs fan, it’s a proud moment for me and my family, and I’m excited for the future.”
Eilidh joined the Club as a 14-year-old in the esteemed Girls Academy and made her debut in September 2019. Despite her young age, she would show plenty of wisdom beyond her years, providing many important moments as she led the line.
She scored in three successive Edinburgh derbies in the 2019/20 season – and netted a dramatic winner at Tynecastle in the final derby of that season.
Eilidh was voted the 2020/21 SWPL1 Young Player of the Season and was virtually ever-present in Scotland Youth Camps – rising through the Under-15, Under-17 and Under-19 levels for her country.
Securing her future in the capital for another few years whilst in fine form, Eilidh will be looking to smash the 13 goals she scored last season, netting the Club’s Goal of the Season in a 4-1 victory against Partick Thistle at Petershill Park.
Hibernian Women Manager Grant Scott said: “We are absolutely delighted to have Eilidh commit her future to Hibernian Women. Eilidh's dedication, talent, and leadership on and off the pitch make her an invaluable asset to our team. Her contract extension until 2026 is a testament to her abilities and our shared ambition for success."
General manager, Chris Gaunt added: "We're absolutely thrilled to announce the extension of Eilidh. She's not just a talented young player, but also a true embodiment of our club's values and passion.
“Watching her develop and flourish within our ranks, from a young fan to a formidable striker, has been a source of immense pride for everyone at the Club.”
