Nicky Cadden, born 19th September, 1996 (age 29) in Scotland, dutifully represents Hibernian as a steadfast defender, wielding his skills primarily as a left back. Standing at 5ft 8in (1.73m) and weighing in at 11st 9lb (74kg), he sports a frame that's formidable on the pitch. You'll find him donning the number 19 jersey.
Chronicling his career, we delve back into July 2013 when Cadden first joined Airdrieonians, competing in the Championship in Scotland. His debut season (2013 - 2014) saw him make 12 first team appearances in league matches.

Cadden's journey in England continued with a move from Forest Green Rovers to Barnsley in League One in July 2022. There, he made 26 appearances in the season 2022 - 2023, adding another three goals to his career tally.
