Nicky Cadden, a vigorous Scottish left-back, was born on the 19th of September 1996. Now plying his trade for Hibernian, Cadden stands at 5ft 8in (1.73m) and weighs 11st 9lb (74kg). Esteemed by his number 19 jersey, Cadden commands an imposing presence on the pitch.
Cadden's football journey commenced in the 2013-2014 season when he joined Airdrieonians in the Scottish Championship. Here, he graced Airdrieonians' pitch 12 times in his debut season. However, his appearances were limited to four in the subsequent 2014-2015 season. Cadden quickly found his footing in the 2015-2016 season, amassing 24 appearances and netting three goals for Airdrieonians.
The summer of 2016 saw Cadden switch sides to Livingston, still in the Scottish Championship. His inaugural season at Livingston was nothing short of marvellous - he appeared 34 times and scored six goals. His next two seasons, however, saw a dip in form with only 24 appearances across both seasons, failing to score a single goal.
Cadden embarked on a loan spell to Ayr United in January 2019, before moving to Greenock Morton in the Scottish Championship just a few months later in July 2019. His tenure at Morton was short-lived, with Cadden transferring to Forest Green Rovers in England's National League in 2020. Unfortunately, financial specifics regarding the transfer remain undisclosed.
In July 2022, Cadden made another jump, this time to Barnsley in England's League One. He made quite an impression in the 2022-2023 season, making 26 first team appearances and chalking up three goals to his name.
His exploits soon attracted the attention of Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership, leading to a move in August 2024. Playing with the same vigour that defines his game, Cadden has already made 23 appearances, scoring five goals in the ongoing 2024-2025 season. Additionally, he has participated in the League Cup and Scottish Cup for Hibernian, making one substitute appearance and two starts, respectively.
