Siobhan Hunter (born 10 April 1994) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a defender for Hibernian in the Scottish Women's Premier League.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Hunter first signed with Hibernian youth as a 9-year old in March 2004.[3][4]

In the 2017 Scottish Cup final against Glasgow City, Hunter scored the third goal with a 40-yard free kick, in a 3–0 win. The goal was nominated for, and subsequently won, the Women's Soccer United goal of the month.[5][6]

Returning from a broken collarbone, Hunter came on as a substitute in the 2018 SWPL Cup Final, in which Hibs beat Celtic 9–0 at Falkirk Stadium.[7][8][9]

Hunter has played over 250 times for Hibernian, reaching that landmark in October 2022.[4]

International career

[edit]

Hunter has been capped for the Scotland Under 15, Under 17, Under 19 and senior international teams.[2][1] She wore the captain's armband throughout the 2012–13 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualifying campaign, including the elite round matches in Livingston and Hamilton in April 2013.[1]

Hunter appeared over 30 times at youth levels before being capped at full level; she made her debut for Scotland in a 3–2 friendly win over Iceland in Reykjavík in June 2013, and received a second cap in the same year.[1]

Personal life

[edit]

In June 2022, Hunter became engaged to Hibernian teammate Shannon McGregor on holiday in Tenerife.[10] In January 2024, both were given a leave of absence by the club after Hunter's mother suffered serious injuries in an accidental fall, coincidentally also occurring in Tenerife.[11][12]
