Miguel Chaiwa

Miguel Chaiwa of Hibernian was born in Luanshya, Zambia on 7 June 2004 (age 21).

Miguel Chaiwa (born 7 June 2004, age 21) is a Zambian central defensive midfielder with Hibernian, where he wears number 14. His market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt.

The 2025-26 season has kept him properly involved at Easter Road rather than hovering around the edges. He has made 28 league appearances for Hibs, scoring once, and 33 appearances in all competitions, with a second goal coming in Conference League qualifying. For a holding midfielder still early in his career, that is useful mileage.

Chaiwa has also remained part of the Zambia set-up, making three World Cup qualifying appearances in Africa this season. He was linked with a move to Celtic in February 2026 and again in April while still at Hibernian, though the story remains a transfer link rather than a completed move.

His career is still taking shape, but he is already a regular first-team player in Scotland and an active international. At this stage, Hibernian is where his senior football has gathered pace.

Chaiwa’s career path has moved from Shamuel to Young Boys, then through a loan at FC Schaffhausen before his 2025 move to Hibernian. The pattern suggests a player developed within the Young Boys system but needing a clearer senior platform, which Hibs provided with regular Premiership starts at age 21.

The transfer history shows a gradual step into senior football rather than constant movement. Young Boys signed him from Shamuel for an undisclosed fee, loaned him to FC Schaffhausen in 2024, then sold him to Hibernian for a reported 700,000 fee in August 2025 – a move that turned potential into regular first-team minutes.
