Miguel Chaiwa

Miguel Chaiwa of Hibernian was born in Luanshya, Zambia on 7 June 2004 (age 22).

Miguel Chaiwa (born 7 June 2004, age 22) is a Zambian central defensive midfielder with Hibernian, where he wears number 14. His current market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came in 2025-26 at Hibs, when he made 28 appearances and scored once. For a player still early in his senior career, that was a useful run of football rather than a footnote.

In 2026-27, Chaiwa has made two league appearances for Hibernian, along with outings in the League Cup, Scottish Cup and Conference League qualifiers. He has also represented Zambia this season, making three appearances in African World Cup qualifying.

He was linked with a move to Celtic in February 2026 and again in April 2026. At this stage, his profile is straightforward enough: a developing defensive midfielder building senior experience in Scotland, with international minutes already behind him.

Chaiwa moved from Shamuel to Young Boys in July 2022 on an undisclosed transfer, then spent time on loan involving FC Schaffhausen during 2024 before completing a permanent move to Hibernian in August 2025 for €700,000. The sequence of an initial transfer to Young Boys, subsequent loan experience and a later fee move to Hibernian outlines a pathway from young signing to a permanent role at his current club.
