Owen Elding, born on 7 March 2006 (age 20), is a Republic of Ireland striker currently with Hibernian, where he wears squad number 47. His market value is around ÂŁ340,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His senior career is still young, but it has been shaped chiefly at Sligo Rovers. Across three seasons there, Elding made 62 league appearances and scored 12 league goals, giving him the sort of regular football young forwards tend to need more than they need glowing introductions.
The 2025 season was his most productive at Sligo, with 12 goals in 35 league matches. That return gave his move on to Hibernian a bit of substance behind it, rather than just the usual talk around a young striker with potential.
In 2025â26, Elding has made 11 league appearances and scored three league goals. His form has been solid and consistent, and his career so far remains a straightforward one: Sligo Rovers provided the main platform, with Hibernian now the next stage.
