This deal represents his ninth contract with Montpellier since joining them in 2011. He played 33 matches in the 2019/20 campaign, having played 31 of those games in their entirety.
Hilton has 321 appearances for the club and is currently the sixth most capped player in Montpellier history.
“Vito” had the following say upon the announcement:
“This is the best one because I think that this will be the last so for me this is the best one, no doubt. It is even more than a dream, I had wanted to get to 40 and now to have the opportunity to still be playing at 43 at the highest level, it is exceptional for me. I am going to enjoy it to the maximum.”
