A naturally left-sided player, Obita is comfortable at both left-back and left-wing and adds great versatility to Lee Johnson’s First Team squad.
Our new man has made over 300 career appearances to date, spending 10 years around the Reading First Team, mainly featuring in the English Championship. During his time with the Royals, he was also named their Players’ Player of the Year.
Last season he made 34 appearances for Wycombe Wanderers in the third-tier of English football, predominantly starting at left-back.
On the signing of Obita, Hibernian FC Manager Lee Johnson commented: “We’re excited to bring a player of Jordan’s experience to the Football Club.
“He gives us extra options all the way up the left hand-side and his ability from set plays will add an extra dimension to the squad. We look forward to working with him.”
