Miguel Chaiwa

Miguel Chaiwa of Hibernian was born in Luanshya, Zambia on 7 June 2004 (age 22).

Miguel Chaiwa, born on 7 June 2004 (age 22), is a Zambian defensive midfielder with Hibernian, where he wears number 14. His current market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league campaign came in 2025-26, when he scored one goal in 28 appearances for Hibs. By 2026-27 he remained a regular part of their first-team picture, with seven league appearances, two League Cup outings, one Scottish Cup appearance and six in Conference League qualifiers, taking him to 18 appearances across competitions for the club that season.

Chaiwa has also stayed involved internationally, making three appearances for Zambia in African World Cup qualifying during 2026-27. He was linked with a move to Celtic in February 2026 and again in April 2026, though that sits in the usual transfer-rumour category rather than anything more substantial.

At this stage, Chaiwa’s career is still developing: a young Zambian midfielder getting regular football at Hibernian, carrying club minutes and international involvement without needing to be dressed up as more than that.
