Dylan Levitt

Born in serene Wales on the 17th of November, 2000, Dylan Levitt took to football like a swan to a loch. Now 24 years on, we find the 5ft 11in (1.81m) Welshman plying his trade as a central defensive midfielder at Hibernian, the Old Lady of Leith. Clad in the illustrious number 6 jersey, Levitt's presence manifests a solidity on the pitch that belies his 11st 6lb (73kg) weight. Levitt's career embarked in England, when in July 2017 he cemented his place in the trainee echelon at Manchester United, one of the Premier League's perennial powerhouses. His journey took a slight detour in September 2020, when he moved on loan to Charlton Athletic, a club residing in England's League One. Unsatisfied with the parochial experience, Levitt sought broader horizons. Thus, in February 2021, he found himself on another loan from Manchester United, this time darting off to the Adriatic climes of Croatia, becoming part of Istra 1961 in the Croatian First Football League. The turning point, however, was not far around the corner. Levitt swapped the Croatian coasts for the Scottish Highlands when he was loaned to Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership in August 2021. It turned out to be a fruitful sojourn. In his debut season (2021 - 2022), Levitt etched his mark on the pitch, making 25 first team appearances and netting five goals in league matches. His performance did not wane in his subsequent season (2022 - 2023) as he made 27 first team appearances and again scored five goals. Having left a formidable trail in his wake during his time on loan, Levitt's move was made permanent by Dundee United in July 2022 for an undisclosed fee from his home club, Manchester United. His performances remained steadfast in this new page of his career, repeating the exact statistics from his loan spell in his two seasons at Dundee. Unwilling to sever his connection with Scotland, Levitt then transferred to Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership in July 2023 for the sum of £300k. His spell with Hibernian has so far seen him make 28 first team appearances and score two goals in the season of 2023 - 2024. In the current season of 2024 - 2025, Levitt has already made nine first team appearances and scored once in league matches. Levitt has not been a stranger to cup games while in Hibernian colours. His participation in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for Hibernian saw him scoring one goal in one start and three substitute appearances, whilst in the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 for Hibernian, he registered two starts. Despite never having graced the Celtic green, Dylan Levitt is a player whose Scottish journey requires observation. His consistent performance and steady trajectory continue to paint the Scottish Premiership in intriguing hues.
