Nicky Cadden has been named William Hill Premiership Player of the Month for December after helping Hibs notch up four straight wins.
The 28-year-old, who joined the Easter Road club from Barnsley in the summer, is the first Hibernian player to pick up the accolade since January 2023 when Kevin Nisbet won the prize.
Cadden was on fine form in December, claiming the Player of the Match award in Hibs 3-1 win over Ross County.
The left-sided midfielder was on the scoresheet a week later at Pittodrie, volleying home Martin Boyle’s cross in the Hibs 3-1 victory against Aberdeen.
He put in another player of the match display in the Edinburgh Derby on Boxing Day, delivering the corner for the opening goal before setting up Dwight Gayle’s winner at Tynecastle.
Cadden added another assist to his tally the end of the month, crossing for Nectar Triantis to nod home against Kilmarnock as Hibs finished the year with a fourth win in a row.
Since arriving in the summer, he has eight goal contributions (four goals and four assists) in 16 William Hill Premiership matches to date.
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
