Born on 14th November 2004, Murray Aiken is a Scottish midfield prodigy who plies his trade at Hibernian FC in the heart of Edinburgh. Aiken, who stands at a robust 5ft 9in (1.77m) and weighs in at roughly 10st 12lb (69 kg), primarily operates as a central midfielder for his side, epitomising the number 47 jersey he dons.
Aiken's contemporary market value orbits around €75k, which roughly calculates to around £65k, as per details courtesy of Transfermarkt. His current contract with Hibernian is on the clock, with expiry looming on 31st May 2025.
The Scot's association with Hibernian traces back to July 2015, when he joined the prestigious Premiership league side as a trainee. His professional journey took flight during the 2021-2022 season when he made his solitary first-team appearance in league outings. The ongoing 2024-2025 season, however, hasn't presented any opportunity for Aiken to exhibit his prowess in first team league matches.
In July 2023, Aiken was temporarily offloaded to the Scottish Championship franchise Airdrieonians on a loan spell. During the 2023-2024 season at Airdrieonians, Aiken made his presence felt with 11 first-team appearances in league matches. The young midfielder continued his form in the 2024-2025 season, racking up 13 first-team appearances and netting a solitary goal in the Championship.
His loan spell with Airdrieonians culminated in June 2024, post which he reverted to his parent club Hibernian, making no first team appearances in the subsequent season. However, a recurrent loan spell at Airdrieonians was on the cards, and the midfielder was loaned out again to the Championship side in July 2024. He replicated his previous form, turning up for 11 league games, and further ameliorated his reputation in the 2024-2025 season, featuring in 13 league encounters and notching up a goal.
The conclusion of Aiken's second loan stint at Airdrieonians in January 2025 resulted in him re-donning the Hibernian colours. The ongoing 2024-2025 season, however, has so far witnessed Aiken warming the bench with no first-team appearances in league matches to his name as yet.
