Jordan Obita

Jordan Obita of Hibernian was born in Oxford, England on 8 December 1993 (age 31).

Jordan Obita, born on 8 December 1993, is an English footballer who impressively plies his trade as a left back for Hibernian. Standing at 5ft 10in (1.8m) and weighing in at 11st 6lb (73kg), he holds the number 21 jersey with distinction.

Obita made his entrance into professional football in July 2010 when he joined Reading in England's League One. Over the subsequent years with Reading, he recorded 163 first team appearances and netted five goals in league matches, marking a respectable tally for a defender.

The opportunity to gain more experience led Obita to a series of loan spells. In January 2012, Barnet, competing in the National League, managed to secure his services on a temporary basis. With five first team appearances under his belt, he later joined League Two outfit, Gillingham in March, where he scored three goals in just six appearances. Upon his return to Reading, he continued to add to his first team appearances.

In the following years, Obita was loaned out twice more. First in August 2012, to Championship side Portsmouth, where he featured in eight matches and scored once, and then to Oldham Athletic in the National League in January 2013, making a further eight appearances.

November 2020 saw another gear shift in Obita's career. He broadened his tally of clubs further by joining Oxford United in the Championship, before making a swift move to Wycombe Wanderers in the League One just two months later in January 2021. The details of this transfer remain undisclosed. Obita's time at Wycombe Wanderers saw him contribute to a total of 37 league matches across two seasons.

The chapter unfolded in July 2023, when Obita made the jump from England's lower leagues to the Scottish Premiership, signing for Hibernian. The current 2024 - 2025 season has seen him become an integral part of Hibernian's back line, making 27 first team appearances in league matches thus far. He also played in the League Cup, earning four starts and coming on as a substitute once, and has been utilised twice as a substitute in the Scottish Cup.
