Kanayo Megwa, an English born defender, chiefly playing as a right back for Hibernian, who wears the number 27 jersey, came into this world on March 5, 2004. A still young player, he stands at a height of 5ft 10in (1.79m), with a weight of 11st 2lb (71kg).
His journey with Hibernian commenced in September 2021, seeing the player start to leave his mark in the Scottish Premiership. During the course of the season 2023 to 2024, he managed to secure a place in the first team for four league matches, a modest beginning, but nonetheless a start. In the current season, 2025 to 2026, he has featured in the first team in one league match.
Megwa's trajectory with Hibernian took a bit of a detour in March 2023, when he was loaned out to Kelty Hearts in the League One. His time with Kelty Hearts could be considered fleeting at best, only marking one first team appearance in league matches in the debut season 2022 - 2023.
In June 2023, he returned to Hibernian, making another four first team appearances in the following season, whilst in the current season, he has partaken in one match.
Not too long after his return, in September 2023, he found himself being loaned out once more from Hibernian, this time to Airdrieonians in the Championship. At Airdrieonians, Megwa marked his presence on the pitch, making 27 first team appearances in league matches during the season 2023 - 2024.
Upon the completion of his loan with Airdrieonians in January 2024, Megwa was repatriated to Hibernian. The seasons following his return mirrored those before his departure, with 4 and 1 first team appearances in league matches respectively.
In an almost déjà vu scenario, Megwa was loaned back to Airdrieonians in February 2024, where he continued to make his mark on the pitch with another 27 first team appearances that season.
Post his second stint at Airdrieonians, he returned to Hibernian in June 2024 to repeat his previous performance, followed by a loan to Partick Thistle in September 2024 where he participated in 26 first team matches for the season 2024 - 2025.
After his loan at Partick Thistle ended in June 2025, Megwa found himself back in the familiar territory of Hibernian for the season 2025 - 2026. The young player is showing some promise, with his participation in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Hibernian, starting one match, and then featuring twice as a substitute in the Europa League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026. He also made an appearance as a substitute in the Conference League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026, giving the youngster a taste of European football.
