Kanayo Megwa

Kanayo Megwa of Hibernian was born in London, England on 5 March 2004 (age 22).

Kanayo Megwa, born 5 March 2004 (age 22), is an English right-back with Hibernian. His senior career has been built in Scotland, with a brief league appearance for Kelty Hearts in 2022-23 before his place in the Hibs first-team picture became more relevant.

For Hibernian in 2026-27, Megwa has made five appearances across all competitions: one in the league, one in the League Cup, one in the Scottish Cup and two in Conference League qualifying. His form has been solid, though he has been out of the matchday squad in recent weeks. His most recent appearance came in Hibernian’s 2-1 win at Rangers on 9 August 2026.

Megwa remains a developing full-back at Hibs, with his career so far shaped by limited but varied senior exposure rather than a settled run in one competition.
