Born into a ferociously loyal Hibernian-supporting family, Siobhan Hunter spent the bulk of her childhood in and around Easter Road.

Born and raised in Leith and Craigentinny, ‘Shiv’ was a regular at Hibs games and quickly set about forming her own professional football career path; joining up with the Hibees at under-13 level.

Willie Kirk handed an 18-year-old Hunter her senior debut in 2012. After making a great impression on the women’s game at a young age, the defender would make her Scotland ‘A’ Squad debut just one year later in a 3-2 win over Iceland in Reykjavik. 

A born winner, Hunter’s search for trophies while donning Hibernian green and white has earned her three Scottish Cups, five League Cups and, most recently, one Scottish Women’s Premier League title. 

She starred in our resounding 9-0 victory over Celtic in the 2018 SWPL Cup Final after recovering just in time from a nasty broken collarbone injury to play, but her most iconic cup final moment occurred one year beforehand. 

Hunter’s thunderous 40-yard free-kick against Glasgow City ensured Scottish Cup victory for the Hibees in West Lothian and sealed a second consecutive triumph in the competition for the Club.

The veteran defender has always relished European nights – scoring against Slavia Prague at her beloved Easter Road being a particularly great moment in time – and never shies away from a Derby Day battle. 

Hunter has emerged victorious across many memorable Edinburgh Derby clashes – even netting a hat-trick in a Scottish Cup meeting between the two sides back in 2019. 

Her first league winner’s medal was earned last season, with Hunter playing all but two league matches for Hibs throughout our incredible title-winning 2024/25 campaign.
