Hibernian FC officially announced the signing of 26-year-old midfielder Callum Wright on a three-year deal, effective June 23, 2026. The move is currently subject to formal SFA clearance.
Wright joins the Scottish Premiership club as a free agent following the expiration of his contract at Plymouth Argyle. He arrives in Edinburgh following a standout loan spell at Wigan Athletic, where he recorded 15 goal contributions in 49 appearances and secured both the Player of the Season and Player’s Player of the Season awards.
Hibernian Head Coach David Gray praised the midfielder’s versatility, noting his high energy and technical ability. “He has all the traits you want in a midfielder; high energy, excellent work-rate, creativity and an eye for goal,” Gray said. Sporting Director Malky Mackay added that the club successfully beat out significant competition from other teams to secure the player early in the summer transfer window.
The signing marks a reunion for Wright, who will link up again with former Wigan teammate Jason Kerr. With league titles already on his resume from his time at Cheltenham Town and Plymouth Argyle, Wright is expected to integrate into the Hibernian squad immediately as the team begins its pre-season preparations.
