Hibernian evaluates Rabbi Matondo during La Manga training camp

Summary

Hibernian FC has welcomed trialist Rabbi Matondo, a former Rangers winger, to their training camp in La Manga as new manager Marink Reedijk prepares for his first match in charge. Matondo's signing is noteworthy since Hibs previously did not use wingers, suggesting a potential shift in tactical approach. The 26-year-old Welsh international is looking to revitalize his career after playing only six matches in 2026 and being without a club since last season. Matondo's performance in Spain could determine his future with Hibs.

What they're saying

"
With the countdown on to Marink Reedijk's first game in charge, we've been relying on short bursts of club-produced content for our Hibs fix. The team are currently on a training camp in La Manga where they've reportedly been joined by trialist Rabbi Matondo, the former Rangers winger. This is an interesting development, not least because Hibs didn't utilise wingers under David Gray, so there's already an indication a change in style might be imminent.
