Owen Elding, a young English forward born on the 7th of March 2006, has been making a name for himself in the Scottish Premiership playing for Hibernian. Primarily operating as a striker, Elding stands at a considerable height of 6ft 1in (1.87m) and weighing in at 11 stones (70kg). The number 47 jersey has been claimed by him in his current team.
Elding's current market value is roughly £300,000 according to a sourcing note from Transfermarkt.
In his early career, Elding was transferred from Longford Town in the Irish First Division to Sligo Rovers in the Premier Division of the same country in February 2023. His debut season saw limited options with him making just five league appearances. However, his playing time significantly increased in his second season, making 22 appearances and further stepping up in the 2025 season with 35 appearances and 12 netted goals.
This promising performance led to a transfer in January 2026. Elding moved to Scottish Premiership side Hibernian for a fee of around £300,000. Since the transfer, he has made an impact in his 7 first team appearances, scoring two goals in the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season. Plying his trade outside of his home country, Elding is an example of young English talent being nurtured across the British Isles.
