Hibs youngster Malik Zaid joins Edinburgh City on loan

Last updated : 05 January 2025 By Steve Forbes

Hibs have revealed that youngster Malik Zaid has headed out on another loan deal.

The 20-year-old has spent the first half of the season on loan with League One side Annan Athletic, playing 17 times.

Zaid will now join City for the second half of the season, his second loan spell with the Meadowbank side.

He has also had a previous loan spell with Civil Service Strollers.

Sporting director Malky Mackay said:

“This is an opportunity for Malik to kickstart his career by going to a club in a competitive division.

“We wish him the best of luck with the next step in his career.”

Another loan for Malik and hopefully some more game time.

He isn't getting any younger, and at 20 years of age hasn't pushed his way into the Hibs first team.

Out of contract this summer, Malik can use this move to put himself in the shop window.
