Callum Wright

Callum Wright of Hibernian was born in Huyton, England on 2 May 2000 (age 26).

Callum Wright, born on 2 May 2000 (age 26), is an English centre midfielder with Hibernian, where he wears the number 23 shirt.

His career is still shaped most clearly by Plymouth Argyle. Across three seasons there he made 65 league appearances and scored three league goals, becoming a regular part of the squad rather than a passing name. His best scoring return came in 2022–23, when he scored twice in nine league games.

Wright moved on to Hibernian and has started the 2026–27 season with 10 appearances in all competitions and two goals. That includes six league appearances with two goals, plus one League Cup outing and three in Conference League qualifying.

At this stage, Wright’s senior career is built around his Plymouth spell, with Hibernian now offering the next clear step. He is an established professional midfielder rather than a headline act, and his record so far is tidy enough without needing much decoration.
