Born on the 7th of March 2006, Englishman Owen Elding is a formidable forward currently playing for Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership. At 19 years of age, Elding already stands at 6ft 1in (1.87m), coupled with a weight of 11st (70kg). Showing off the number 47 on his jersey, Elding primarily operates as a fearsome striker on the field.
Based on Transfermarkt's analysis, Elding's market value sits approximately at £300k.
Recalling Elding's grand journey to Scotland, it all began in February 2023 when he made the move from Longford Town to Sligo Rovers in the Republic of Ireland's Premier Division. Finding his proverbial feet in the first season, Elding marked his place on the team sheet five times in league matches. As seasons passed, the English lad engrained himself into the starting eleven, tracking 22 first team appearances in 2024, and astounding 35 appearances with an impressive 12 goals bagged in 2025.
His consistent performance at Sligo Rovers attracted the eyes of the Scottish Premiership team, Hibernian, who were quick to offer a fee of around £350k for his acquisition. As such, in January 2026, Elding found himself donning the Hibernian colours and battling it out in the Scottish top-flight. The current season blazes well for Elding, having already made four first team appearances, and delightfully, scored two goals in league matches.
