Jordan Obita, born on 8 December 1993 (age 32), is a Uganda international left-back with Hibernian. His early career was shaped by loan football, with the 2011-12 spell at Gillingham standing out: three goals in six league appearances, a sharp return for a young full-back finding his way in senior football.
He has since built a steady career as a left-sided defender rather than a headline act, and Hibs have used him across domestic and European fixtures. In 2026-27, he has made four league appearances, along with one in the Scottish Cup, six in Conference League qualifiers and three in Africa CON matches, taking him to 14 appearances for the club across all competitions.
Obita has also been involved with Uganda this season, making four appearances in World Cup qualifiers in Africa. His career has been a practical one: early loans, a productive Gillingham spell, and a settled role at Hibernian as an experienced left-back.
