Jordan Obita, born on 8 December 1993 (age 32), is a Uganda international left-back with a career built more on steady usefulness than noise. His early senior football included a productive spell at Gillingham in 2011-2012, where he scored three times in six league appearances โ a sharp return for a young wide player finding his way.
Obita has since settled into the kind of role managers tend to value quietly: reliable on the left side, experienced enough to know the job, and still involved regularly rather than drifting into the background. At Hibernian, wearing squad number 21, he remains a first-team presence in 2025-2026.
That relevance is reflected in his current season. He has made 26 league appearances for Hibs, scoring once, and has also featured in the Scottish Cup and Conference League qualifying. At international level, he has made four World Cup qualifying appearances for Uganda.
Obitaโs career has moved from early development spells into an established senior role, with Hibernian now the club where he continues to play regular football at 32.
