Miguel Chaiwa is a Zambian defensive midfielder, born on 7 June 2004 (age 21), who has become a regular part of Hibernian’s first-team picture. Wearing squad number 14, he is primarily used in the holding role, with his current market value put at around £1m by Transfermarkt.
The 2025-26 season has been his most productive league campaign so far. He has made 27 league appearances for Hibs and scored one league goal, while also featuring in the League Cup, Scottish Cup and Conference League qualifying. Across all competitions for the club that season, he has 34 appearances and two goals.
Chaiwa has also remained involved with Zambia, making three appearances in African World Cup qualifying during the same campaign. That gives his season a bit more weight than the usual developing-player routine: he has been playing regularly for his club and has stayed in the international frame.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in February and April 2026 while at Hibernian. At this stage, his career is still taking shape: a young Zambian midfielder holding down a regular role in Scotland and beginning to build a senior record beyond promise alone.
