New Deal For Jordan Obita!
We are delighted to announce that Jordan Obita has signed a new deal with Hibernian FC.
The left-back has put pen-to-paper on a new contract that extends his time at the Club until the summer of 2027.
In his first season at Hibs, Obita’s eye-catching displays saw him win two awards; the 2023/24 Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season.
Since joining in 2023, the left-back has made 87 appearances to date, alongside chipping in with seven assists and two goals. One of those strikes was a memorable one as he bagged in our UEFA Europa Conference League win against Luzern at Easter Road in August 2023.
His performances for Hibs also earned him an international call-up to Uganda!
On Obita’s new deal, Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray said: “I’m really pleased we’ve been able to extend Jordan’s stay with us. He’s an important part of the squad and has shown real consistency since joining us a couple of years ago.
“Jordan adds flexibility to the backline being able to play at left-wing back and on the left-side of the back three and has attributes that help us defensively and going forward. We look forward to continuing working with him.”
Hibernian FC Sporting Director Malky Mackay added: “We’re constantly planning for the future and extending Jordan’s contract at this club for a further year is a really positive step.
“Not only has Jordan showed his ability during his time with us, but he also leads by example at HTC and on the pitch every single day. He is a fantastic role model for our younger players and has helped a lot of them settle into the group when coming up from the Academy.
“Jordan has a young family and is really enjoying his time with us, so we’re all delighted he will continue his stay with us.”
