Marvin Ekpiteta, a robust defender born in England on the 26th of August, 1995, is currently showcasing his skills for Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership. Standing at 6ft 3in (1.93m) and weighing in at 13st 5lb (85kg), he brings both height and strength to the central defensive role he predominantly occupies. In line with his preferred position, the Number 4 shirt has become his regular attire.
In the early stages of his career, Ekpiteta was seen plying his trade for East Thurrock in the National League South. In January 2018, he waved farewell to his former team as he embarked on a new episode with Leyton Orient in England's League One. The specifics of this move remain undisclosed, a point which is conserved in the annals of transfer history.
After consolidating his position at Leyton Orient, his time came to step up to a new challenge. This came in the form of Blackpool, another outfit operating in England's League One. This move came to pass in July 2020. Ekpiteta took to his new surroundings with aplomb, making an impressive 40 appearances in the 2021-2022 season, scoring five goals in the process. He went on to add another 25 appearances to his tally in the 2022-2023 season, notching up a goal along the way.
The summer of 2024 marked yet another significant waypoint in Ekpiteta's career. With the allure of Scottish football beckoning, he decamped from Blackpool and set his sights north, signing for Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership. Already in the current 2024-2025 season, he has managed 12 first team outings, leaving a noticeable impression on the Hibernian faithful.
In addition to his league contributions, Ekpiteta has also been doing his part in cup competitions. In the 2024-2025 League Cup, he has managed to get his name on the scoresheet once in four starts, demonstrating his eye for goal despite his defensive duties.
