Joe Newell, born on 15th March 1993, in England, is a 32-year-old central midfielder currently plying his trade at Hibernian. Standing at 5ft 10in (1.8m) and tipping the scales at 11st 2lb (71kg), Newell elegantly graces the pitch with his number 11 jersey at Hibernian.
He initiated his first step into professional football in January 2011, joining Peterborough United in the League One of English football. In his debut 2010 - 2011 season, Newell made a hesitant start with two first team appearances in league matches. Over the following seasons, his contributions increased considerably, appearing on the field 14 times and scoring a goal in the 2011 - 2012 season. These numbers kept surging up with 30 appearances in the 2012 - 2013 season and 11 appearances in the following season. He made a significant contribution in the 2014 - 2015 season, with 39 appearances and two noteworthy goals.
In August 2015, he made a switch from Peterborough United to Rotherham United, both competing in England's League One. The transfer fee remained undisclosed. His first season at Rotherham in 2015 - 2016 saw him appear 35 times, slotting in five goals. Across the next three seasons, he managed 34 appearances scoring two goals, 24 appearances with three goals, and 31 appearances respectively.
His journey then led him north of the border, as he joined Hibernian in Scotland's Premiership in July 2019. The 2019 - 2020 season saw him feature 19 times, while the 2020 - 2021 season saw him play in 32 matches and score a goal. His commitment remained strong in the following seasons, with 27 appearances in the 2021 - 2022 season and 34 appearances with a goal in the 2022 - 2023 season. The 2023 - 2024 season was significant, featuring 37 times and securing two goals. Halfway through the 2024 - 2025 season, he has racked up 16 appearances and an additional two goals. However, the current 2025 - 2026 season has yet to see him gracing the pitch.
