Hamilton.
Newell told Hibernian’s official website
: “I’m really pleased to have agreed the contract and it was an easy decision, to be honest. I’ve said consistently how happy I am here, on and off the pitch.
“If it’s taken a bit of time to get it finalized then it’s because there was never any need to rush it from either side.
“My focus has been on getting back fit and it was a relief to be back involved on Saturday.
“We’re in a great position to push on and make it a special season.
“Beyond that, I spoke to the gaffer and (sporting director) Graeme Mathie about their plans for the club in general and it was all positive. I want to be part of that.
