Tegan Bowie signs Hibs contract extension

Hibernian are delighted to announce that Tegan Bowie has signed a two-year contract extension with Hibernian Women FC.

The 21-year-old has extended her stay with the Club until 2027 after playing a crucial role in our ScottishPower Women’s Premier League success.

Tegan was pivotal to the club’s title triumph, starting 26 of her 29 league appearances while providing five goals and six assists in the league.

Developed in the Hibs Girls Academy, Tegan then moved to Celtic; helping the Hoops to a second-place finish during the 2020-21 season before securing her first senior Scotland squad call up in November 2021.

The winger rejoined Hibs in June 2023, becoming the fourth summer signing of returning Head Coach Grant Scott, and has gone on to make 65 appearances in total across two seasons as an essential member of our squad.

After signing on for two more years, Tegan said: “I'm delighted. It was never in doubt that I was going to sign. I'm just very happy.

“We have a good group of staff here that drive us to be better every day. It helps massively."

Hibs Women Head Coach Grant Scott added: “We’re delighted to secure Tegan for another two years. She’s an exciting player who brings real attacking flair and freedom to our squad, the exact kind of player I like in my teams.

“I’d challenge her for more goals and assists but her long term aim should be the Scotland ‘A’ Squad, that’s how good she is.

“Despite being around for ages, she’s still one of the best young talents in Scotland, so it’s brilliant that she’s staying here at Hibs.”

Hibernian can also confirm that striker Lia Tweedie will depart the Club this summer. The 27-year-old has amassed 124 appearances and scored 47 goals in Green and White across two spells.

Tweedie joined the Hibs Girls Academy aged 11 in 2009. At 16 years old, she scored on her senior debut in a 9-1 victory over Buchan on 18 May 2014. After a brief spell away from Leith, the forward returned to Hibernian Women in August 2022.

Over two stints at Hibs, the forward won seven trophies in total – including two Scottish Cups and four Scottish League Cups.

The striker has netted a number of hat-tricks in Hibs colours, including in key victories over Rangers, Motherwell and Forfar Farmington, and reached a century of appearances for the Club in April 2023.

Tweedie was also fond of a crucial Derby Day goal against Hearts, with none more memorable than her unforgettable long range volley during the 2023-24 campaign – which was subsequently voted as the Club’s Goal of the Season.

Lia leaves on a high after earning a first league winners’ medal with the Club – with the forward coming on as a late substitute at Ibrox as Hibs defeated Rangers to secure the SWPL title.

On Lia’s departure, Hibs Women head coach Grant Scott commented: “I want to thank Lia for her outstanding contribution to Hibernian. She is a great person who has deservedly picked up plenty of winners’ medals with the Club.

“From coming through the Hibs Academy to performing on the European stage and winning silverware, Lia has always remained a fantastic servant to this Club and will be a big loss to the group – both on and off the pitch.

“I wish Lia the best of luck with what comes next for her in her career.”

Everybody at Hibernian FC wishes all the best to Lia and thank her for all her contributions throughout her time at the Club.
