Chris Cadden, born on the 19th of September 1996, is a Scottish football player primarily known for his defensive skills as a right back. He currently plays for Hibernian, donning the number 12 jersey. Standing at 6ft (1.83m) tall and weighing 11st 13lb (76kg), Cadden is a formidable presence on the field.
In July 2013, Cadden embarked on his professional career with Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership. During his debut season (2013-2014), Cadden made a modest three appearances. He duplicated this feat in the subsequent 2014-2015 season. However, the 2015-2016 season witnessed an uptake in Cadden's on-field participation, scoring two goals in his 20 appearances. His 2016-2017 season at Motherwell was even more notable, making 36 appearances and scoring three goals. He registered his presence on the field 33 times during the 2017-2018 season. In the 2018-2019 season, Cadden made 20 appearances and pocketed one goal.
He experienced a short loan stint with Albion Rovers in the Lowland League during the 2014-2015 season, where he made ten appearances and notched up two goals. After this worthwhile experience, he returned to Motherwell.
Cadden's talent didn't go unnoticed beyond Scottish borders. In July 2019, he ventured overseas to join Columbus Crew in the Major League Soccer, USA, for an undisclosed fee. During his 2020 season with the Crew, Cadden made eight appearances. Concurrently, he spent time on loan in England with Oxford United in the Championship.
By January 2021, Cadden returned home to Scotland, joining Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership, once again for an undisclosed fee. Since his move to Hibernian, Cadden's presence on the pitch has been consistent, making a total of 108 appearances and scoring four goals across four seasons (from 2020-2021 to 2023-2024). In the current 2024-2025 season, Cadden has made 22 appearances thus far.
Outside of league play, Cadden has also participated in the 2024-2025 League Cup and Scottish Cup for Hibernian, starting in each once and appearing as a substitute once.
