Joe Newell, born on 15 March 1993 in England, imposes his presence on the pitch, established in his role as a central midfielder for Hibernian. Standing firm at 5ft 10in (1.8m) tall and weighing 11st 2lb (71kg), he's often seen wearing the number 11 jersey.
His professional journey commenced at Peterborough United in England's League One, where he signed in January 2011. His first season (2010 - 2011) saw him make his debut and a further appearance in league matches. The subsequent 2011 - 2012 season saw him partake in 14 matches and contribute one goal. He was quite the regular in the 2012 - 2013 season, making 30 appearances, while the 2013 - 2014 season saw him on the first team relatively fewer times with 11 appearances. However, the 2014 - 2015 season proved to be a momentous term with Newell making 39 appearances and netting two goals.
Newell found himself moving his footballing sojourn further north in August 2015, transferring from Peterborough United to Rotherham United, both of England's League One, for a fee that has remained undisclosed. His tenure at Rotherham from 2015 - 2019 saw him making between 24 and 35 appearances per season with a cumulative ten goals across the pond.
In July 2019, Newell transferred from Rotherham United to Hibernian in Scotland's Premiership. Since his transfer, Newell's involvement has steadily increased from 19 to 37 first team appearances between the 2019 - 2020 and 2023 - 2024 seasons, with a respectable contribution of six goals. The 2024 - 2025 season saw him making 16 appearances and achieving two goals. In the current season, 2025 - 2026, Newell has already made seven appearances.
