Kanayo Megwa Re-Joins Airdrieonians On Loan
Hibs defender Kanayo Megwa has re-joined Airdrieonians on loan for the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign.
The young full-back spent the first half of the season with the cinch Championship side – making 14 appearances and receiving the Airdrieonians Player of the Month Award on two separate occasions.
Kanayo was recalled by Hibs in January 2024 and appeared for the First Team in his debut against Rangers followed by appearances v Kilmarnock and St Mirren in the cinch Premiership.
Megwa will now return to Rhys McCabe’s Airdrieonians side who currently sit sixth in the cinch Championship and have reached the final of the Scottish Challenge Cup.
Hibernian FC Head Coach, Nick Montgomery, commented: “Kanayo did really well for us when he returned in January and showed he can fight, compete, and step up to the occasion at this level when required.
“With Lewis Miller returning from international duty and Chris Cadden coming back from injury, it was an opportunity for Kanayo to go back out on loan to continue his development and to get more regular gametime than what would be potentially on offer here. After discussing this with Kanayo he was keen to go and play regular games and use the experience he gained here to continue to improve his game.
“Kanayo thrived during the first half of the season at Airdrieonians, and we look forward to following his progress between now and when he returns in the summer.”
