Obita New Deal

[Ricky Bobby]

Good signing.
Got to wonder what he has done with his career.
30 years old and only really made significant appearances for Wycombe and us.
Looks like he could be capable of playing at a higher level.

He's made over 150 appearances in the English Championship. Not to be sniffed at. Very rarely do we ever sign a player with that kind of background at 29 years of age.

[Tambo]

Overall a very good signing he has turned out to be.

[Big_Franck]

I'm happy with this. He's the best left back we've had in 10+ years. Not perfect, but he's more than good enough for this level and he has a bit of fight about him, which we too often lack.

[Northernhibee]

We’ve finally found the one good enough to dislodge Lord Lewis of Stevenson from the left back position.

Played for Reading for a while didn't he.

[Up-the-slope]

should not be overlooked that after many have tried and failed, he has managed to get past Lewy to take the LB spot.

He's been playing regular 1st team football, mostly at Championship level, for roughly a decade............

[ekhibee]

I must admit I wasn't sure about him at first, but he's become a pretty consistent player for us, glad to see he's been offered a new deal, as others have said, he's been really good down the left side.

Going by the announcement it looks like it's a new deal rather than taking up the option to extend, or I've read into it wrong.

Either way, delighted. Great player.

It is an extension of a year, there's an interview with him on hibs tv.

[EGL2000]

Brilliant news. Only player who I think has been largely consistent this season. Would actually be giving him the player of the season for me.

[Jones28]

Great news, he was tremendous in the left CH role against one of rangers or Celtic a couple of months ago too.

[VoltaireHibs]

Good extension. Makes a lot of sense. Not entirely convinced of his defensive abilities, his positional sense seems to go awry occasionally, but he's definitely an improvement on what we had so sensible move. I think we'll see better though over the next couple of years.

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

Scores goals, whips in great crosses and is really athletic. Decent team player and good defended based on the fact that everyone makes mistakes.

[Bostonhibby]

Guys a good all round footballer, like watching him a lot so pleased with this.

Yeah but apart from over 250 appearances and the 12 years before he came to Hibs just what has he been doing with his career
