Zach Mitchell Is A Hibee!

We are excited to announce that talented defender Zach Mitchell has joined the Hibees on loan from the duration of the 2025/26 campaign!

The 20-year-old joins on loan from English Championship side Charlton Athletic for the remainder of the season.

The promising young defender is a product of the Charlton youth system – working his way through the age grades before making over 20 senior appearances for the London side.

The 6 ft 2’ defender is comfortable both in and out of possession and has enjoyed loan spells at Colchester United and most recently, St Johnstone.

Upon arriving on transfer Deadline Day, Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray commented: “We’re delighted to bring Zach into the building.

“Zach is a player that caught my eye during his brief spell at St Johnstone last season. He is a young defender with some great attributes and will add extra versatility, strength and depth to our back line.

“He is a young defender who is comfortable on the ball and has a good physical presence. We’re all looking forward to working with him.”

Hibernian FC Sporting Director, Malky Mackay, added: “We’re pleased to be able to bring Zach to our Club.

“Zach gives us extra strength in depth in our defensive options and is another talented, ambitious young player to add to the dressing room.

“I would like to thank Charlton for their support with the move and we’re all excited to work with him.”
