Hibernian Women FC can confirm striker Lia Tweedie will depart the Club this summer.

The 27-year-old has amassed 124 appearances and scored 47 goals in Green and White across two spells.

Tweedie joined the Hibs Girls Academy aged 11 in 2009. At 16 years old, she scored on her senior debut in a 9-1 victory over Buchan on 18 May 2014. 

After a brief spell away from Leith, the forward returned to Hibernian Women in August 2022. 

Over two stints at Hibs, the forward won seven trophies in total – including two Scottish Cups and four Scottish League Cups. 

The striker has netted a number of hat-tricks in Hibs colours, including in key victories over Rangers, Motherwell and Forfar Farmington, and reached a century of appearances for the Club in April 2023.

Tweedie was also fond of a crucial Derby Day goal against Hearts, with none more memorable than her unforgettable long-range volley during the 2023/24 campaign – which was subsequently voted as the Club’s Goal of the Season. 

Lia leaves on a high after earning a first league winners’ medal with the Club – with the forward coming on as a late substitute at Ibrox as Hibs defeated Rangers to secure the SWPL title. 

On Lia’s departure, Hibs Women head coach Grant Scott commented: “I want to thank Lia for her outstanding contribution to Hibernian. She is a great person who has deservedly picked up plenty of winners’ medals with the Club. 

“From coming through the Hibs Academy to performing on the European stage and winning silverware, Lia has always remained a fantastic servant to this Club and will be a big loss to the group – both on and off the pitch. 

“I wish Lia the best of luck with what comes next for her in her career.”

Everybody at Hibernian FC wishes all the best to Lia and thank her for all her contributions throughout her time at the Club.
