Jordan Obita, born on 8 December 1993 (age 32), is a Uganda international left-back with Hibernian, where he wears number 21. His early senior education included loan football, and the useful one in plain sight was Gillingham in 2011-12: six league appearances, three goals, and a glimpse of the attacking output he could bring from the flank.
That Gillingham spell remains his most productive league season for goals, which says a little about the role he has generally settled into since. Obita has built his career as a steady left-sided defender rather than a numbers player, with Hibs the current stop in a path shaped by those early minutes away from his parent club.
In 2026-27 he has made 12 appearances for Hibernian across all competitions, including two in the league, one in the Scottish Cup and six in Conference League qualifying. He has also been involved with Uganda, making four appearances in World Cup qualifying in Africa.
