Hibernian Secures Rabbi Matondo on Loan, Eyes Future with Extension Option
Summary
Rabbi Matondo has officially joined Hibernian on a deal running until the end of the season, with an option for an additional year. The 26-year-old winger from Wales, who previously played for Rangers, becomes the first signing of new manager Marink Reedijk, who took over from David Gray last month.
Prior to his move, Matondo had been on trial at Easter Road. He left Brann in Norway in August after a five-month stint. His career includes nearly four years at Ibrox, where he spent time on loan at Hannover. Matondo has also played for Schalke, Stoke City, and Cercle Brugge.
Key highlights of Matondo's career include:
- Approximately two-thirds of his 70 appearances for Rangers were in the Scottish Premiership.
- He scored eight goals, with all but one in the top flight, including a goal against Hibs.
- His last appearance for Wales came last year, and he netted his only international goal in a 3-1 victory over Kazakhstan in 2025.
Manager Reedijk praised Matondo's immediate impact during training in La Manga, noting his strong attitude and eagerness to learn.
