Riley Harbottle, born on the benches of England on 26th September 2000, is a pillar of defence. Now 23, he's not shy of shoving a size nine into a 50/50 challenge for Hibernian, doing his duty primarily as a central defender. The lad stands a respectable six-foot tall and tips the scales at 12 stone 10 pounds. You'll find him sweating under the number 26 jersey for the Hibees.
Harbottle cut his teeth at Mansfield Town on English soil in the 2022 - 2023 season. Made quite the impression, that chap. Featured in 23 first team run-outs and banged in a handy five goals along the way. Not too shabby for a rookie season.
No sooner had the 2023 - 2024 season rolled around, Harbottle was donning the green and white, up north with Hibernian. His presence on the pitch, however, was all but a cameo role, making a solitary appearance for the entire season.
And now, in the current season of 2024 - 2025, he seems to be warming the bench longer than he would or should care for, managing no first team appearances. Not a figure to boast about for the lad.
