Kanayo Megwa, born on 5th March 2004 in England, is a resolute defender who mainly lines up as a right back for Partick Thistle. Of respectable stature, Megwa stands at 5ft 10in (1.79m) and tips the scales at 11st 2lb (71kg). He can often be recognised by the number 30 emblazoned on his jersey.
September 2021 marked a turning point in Megwa's career - he joined Hibernian, a well-regarded club in the Scottish Premiership. During the 2023-24 season, he graced the pitch four times as part of Hibernian's first team in league matches.
In a whirlwind transfer in March 2023, Megwa was loaned out from Hibernian to Kelty Hearts, a League One club in Scotland. His debut season there in 2022-23 was a cautious affair, with only one first team appearance in league matches.
Megwa's stay with Kelty Hearts was ephemeral, as in June 2023, his loan period ended, and he returned to Hibernian. Upon his return in the 2023-24 season, he participated in four first team league matches.
Another twist to his career came in September 2023, as he was loaned out again - this time to the Airdrieonians, in the Scottish Championship. This period proved more fruitful with Megwa making 27 first team appearances in league matches over the course of the 2023-24 season.
Megwa’s 2024 began with him returning to Hibernian in January, post completion of his loan. Back at Hibernian, he featured four times for the first team in league matches in that season.
Almost immediately, in February 2024, Megwa was once again loaned out to Airdrieonians. During his stint in the 2023-24 season, he continued his form and made 27 first team appearances.
However, Hibernian beckoned again, and in June 2024, Megwa returned following the termination of his loan with Airdrieonians. Despite the constant tussling, he managed another four first team league appearances for Hibernian in the 2023-24 season.
In what seemed like an almost routine occurrence by now, Megwa was loaned out again in September 2024 - this time to Partick Thistle, a Championship club. Current indications from the 2024-25 season suggest Megwa has found his stride, with four first team appearances already to his name.
