FOOTBALL Why Scottish club signed Ugandan winger
Jordan Obita signed a two-year deal with the Club, having left Wycombe Wanderers this summer. Hibernian FC holds an option to extend his contract by a further season.
The left-back-cum-winger darted in to intercept a cross intended for Marco Burch in Hibernian’s half and ran half the pitch’s length to the visitor’s box before placing it to the far-right corner for the third goal in the 90th minute.
That was his first for the club and his debut goal in a European club championship.
The Scottish side takes a healthy lead to Switzerland next Thursday.
