Miguel Chaiwa

Miguel Chaiwa of Hibernian was born in Luanshya, Zambia on 7 June 2004 (age 22).

Miguel Chaiwa, born on 7 June 2004 (age 22), is a Zambian defensive midfielder with Hibernian. His senior profile is still being shaped, but he has become a regular first-team presence rather than a fringe project.

The 2025-2026 season has been his most productive league campaign so far, with 28 league appearances and one goal for Hibs. Across all competitions for the club he has made 31 appearances and scored once, while also featuring three times for Zambia in African World Cup qualifying.

Chaiwa was linked with a move to Celtic in February 2026 and again in April 2026 while still at Hibernian. His market value is around Β£1m, according to Transfermarkt.

At this stage, he is an established young professional: a regular midfielder at Hibs, active at international level, and still early enough in his career for the next step to matter.

Miguel Chaiwa was a regular Premiership presence for Hibernian in 2025-26, making 28 appearances with 22 starts and six substitute outings. One goal was a limited attacking return, but seven yellow cards and a steady selection pattern pointed to a central defensive midfielder used for structure and ball-winning rather than final-third output.
