Hibs star scoops Player of the Year award after strong Leith campaign

Lanarkshire's Chris Cadden has won Hibs' Player of the Year for his quality performances in the 2021/22 season.

The versatile player - who usually plays at right-wing-back - joined the Hibees in January 2021 following a spell in MLS with Columbus Crew.

After battling back from injury problems, he has gone on to make 34 appearances in all competitions with three goals and three assists.

Born in Bellshill and a former pupil of Our Lady's High School in Motherwell, it's been enough for him to scoop the major honour.

It caps off a good year for the Cadden family after brother Nicky won promotion to English League One with Forest Green Rovers.

Cadden is a product of the Motherwell academy and won League Two at Albion Rovers during a Coatbridge loan spell, going on to make 139 appearances before his 2019 exit.
