The 19-year-old’s successful loan spell at Civil Service Strollers has come to an end, so he can link up with the cinch League One side for the remainder of the season.
Zaid, who impressed in the Club’s UEFA Youth League campaign last season, will now be able to test himself in the third-tier of Scottish football, and gain further senior experience.
During his month-long spell with Civil Service Strollers, he made four appearances (two wins, one draw, and one defeat) and had one assist, which came against promotion challengers Tranent JFC.
His positive performances caught the eye of his new side Edinburgh City, who currently sit bottom of cinch League One with nine points from 18 games.
This loan move is a further example of the partnership between the two clubs that has benefitted youth player development and Hibernian Women through the use of Meadowbank Stadium.
A number of the Club’s young talents, like Josh Campbell, have spent periods at Edinburgh City in the past to aid their development.
Hibernian FC’s Academy Director, Gareth Evans, commented: “This will be a great test for Malik at a really competitive level.
“He has done well over the last two seasons whether that be in the UEFA Youth League, in the Development Squad, or at Civil Service Strollers. There’s no doubt that this loan move will be a step-up for him in terms of quality and physicality, but I’m sure it’s a challenge that he will relish.
“The partnership with Edinburgh City has been incredibly beneficial for a number of our young players, and we look forward to seeing how it helps develop Malik.”
