Nicky Cadden, born on 19 September 1996 (age 29), is a Scottish left back with Hibernian, where he wears the number 19 shirt. He is not a headline act, and does not need to be treated as one, but he remains part of the working fabric of their first team.
His most productive league season came with Livingston in 2016-2017, when he scored six goals in 34 appearances. For a full-back, that was a useful return, and it remains the clearest attacking marker in his career record.
At Hibernian in 2025-2026, Cadden has continued to be involved regularly, making 25 league appearances without scoring. That tells its own story: he is still trusted for minutes, even if his contribution is now measured more in reliability and selection than in end product.
Cadden’s career has been a steady Scottish one, moving from a productive spell at Livingston to an established role at Hibernian. In 2025-2026, he remains a regular first-team presence.
