2025/26 Hibernian FC Next Gen Academy Award Winners!

The inaugural Hibernian FC Next Gen Academy Awards evening took place at Easter Road Stadium on Wednesday 22 April!

Nine prizes were handed out on the night across our U13, U15 and U17 squads, celebrating the successes and best moments of the 2025/26 campaign. 

Host Barrie Wilkins was first joined by Women’s Head Coach Joelle Murray, Assistant Coach Stewart Hall and Goalkeeping Coach Rachel Harrison to open up the event with an on-stage discussion around our Academy's accomplishments and importance.

Academy graduates Siobhan Hunter and Rowena Armitage also hopped on stage for a chat about their Hibs careers to date and, as the awards got under way, the First Team pair alongside Joelle Murray, helped to distribute awards to our winners with coaches Alex Wilson, Sean Anderson, Haris Alysandratos, Jake Drysdale, Shaun Park and Paul Greig.
