Joe Newell, born on the 15th of March 1993, is an accomplished central midfielder currently playing for the Scottish Premiership side, Hibernian. This English footballer, currently aged 31, can be spotted on the pitch wearing the number 11 jersey. Standing at 5ft 10in (1.8m) tall and weighing in at a sturdy 11st 2lb (71kg), he has been able to hold his own among Scotland's footballing elite.
Newell began his professional career at Peterborough United in England's League One, joining the club in January 2011. He made his debut for the club later that same season and went on to make two appearances in league matches. Over the next few years, Newell saw his game time gradually increase, eventually making 30 appearances in the 2012-13 season. This trend of involvement continued through the 2014-15 season, where he played 39 games and scored two goals.
In August 2015, Newell decided to switch pastures. He moved from Peterborough United to Rotherham United, also in England's League One, for an undisclosed fee. Throughout his time with Rotherham, Newell gave an applaudable performance, making over 30 appearances each season and scoring a number of goals, perhaps most notably in the 2015-2016 season when he netted 5 times.
His career then took a northward turn, both literally and professionally when he transferred to Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership in July 2019. Over multiple seasons at Hibernian, Newell continued to showcase his consistency in appearances and also chipped in with the occasional goal. For example, as early as the 2023-2024 season, he made 37 appearances and netted twice. By the following season, 2024-2025, he had already played 11 times, scoring on 2 occasions.
Newell's contributions have not been limited to league action. In the League Cup 2024-2025 season, he started in Hibernian's starting line-up 4 times. In the preceding year's Scottish Cup, Newell started three matches. Presumably, having made such significant contributions to Hibernian's pursuits in the Scottish Premiership, as well as in additional competitions, Joe Newell has solidified his reputation as a reliable and consistent performer.
