Lauren Doran-Barr Signs New Deal!

We are delighted to confirm that Lauren Doran-Barr has signed a one-year contract extension with Hibernian Women!

With the 25-year-old’s deal originally set to expire at the end of this season, Lauren has agreed to a new deal that will run until the summer of 2026. 

A consistent performer across two seasons with the Hibees since joining from Motherwell, the full-back has made 68 appearances and scored four goals for the Club.

Lauren was a crucial member of our title-winning squad last season, playing 29 times in the league and scoring twice. 

After recovering from an injury early in the 2024/25 campaign, Lauren proceeded to start every single game in all competitions for the Hibees from 22 September 2024 – a remarkable run of 30 matches. 

Following her contract renewal, Lauren said: “After an unforgettable season winning the league with such a special group, I’m delighted to continue my journey with the Club. 

“That feeling of success just fuels the hunger for more and, as a group, we’re determined to build on it. This is exactly the kind of ambitious and driven environment you want to be part of as a player. 

“I still feel I’ve got more to develop and contribute here at Hibs, and I’m really excited about what we can achieve together in the 2025/26 season.”

Hibs Women Head Coach Grant Scott commented: “We’re absolutely delighted to keep Lauren for the upcoming season. She’s been a consistent performer and a key component of our defensive line that’s kept so many clean sheets. 

“She’s been vital to our success and it's a real boost to know she’s chosen to stay with us despite interest from elsewhere. 

“Lauren still has more to offer in our overall play, and I’m excited to see her continue developing with us here at Hibs. She’s an important part of what we’re building here.”
