Joe Newell, born on 15 March 1993 (age 33), is an English central midfielder whose career has settled into a long spell at Hibernian. He is primarily used in the middle of the park and wears squad number 11.
Before his time in Scotland, his most productive league season came at Rotherham United in 2015-16, when he scored five goals in 35 appearances. That was a useful return from midfield rather than anything gaudy, and it remains the clearest attacking marker in his career record.
At Hibs, Newell has become an important first-team player, generally valued for control and continuity rather than spectacle. In 2026-27, he has made two league appearances, along with two in the League Cup, one in the Scottish Cup and three in Conference League qualifiers, taking him to eight appearances across all competitions.
His career has been that of a steady English midfielder who found a sustained role in Scotland after Rotherham. Hibernian is where the bulk of his later football has been played, with Newell remaining part of their midfield picture in 2026-27.
