Owen Elding, born on 7 March 2006 (age 20), is a Republic of Ireland striker now with Hibernian, where he wears squad number 47. His current market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His career so far has been shaped chiefly at Sligo Rovers. Across three seasons there, Elding made 62 league appearances and scored 12 league goals, with the 2025 campaign providing the clear step forward: 12 goals in 35 league matches.
At Hibernian in 2025-26, he has made 10 league appearances and scored three goals. His form this season has been solid and consistent, which is about as much as any young striker can reasonably ask for while trying to establish himself.
Elding remains a developing forward whose senior career has been built largely on his Sligo Rovers spell, with Hibernian now the next stage rather than the completed story.
