Callum Wright Relishes First European Night at Easter Road
Hibernian midfielder Callum Wright enjoyed a memorable debut at Easter Road, marking a significant milestone two months after his arrival at the Edinburgh club.
The 26-year-old, who joined as a free agent in June, made his competitive debut during Thursday night’s Conference League third qualifying round match against Shkendija. Wright came off the bench in the second half and played a pivotal role by assisting Owen Elding, who scored the opening goal in Hibs’ 2-1 victory in the first leg of the European tie.
“Obviously it’s only halfway in the tie,” he stated in an interview with Hibs TV. “But it was a nice experience at Easter Road for the first time on a European night, which was a big part of why I came here.”
Wright mentioned his positioning on the field, noting, “I was a bit more out wide, which I don’t mind, as long as I’m getting on the ball that’s fine. I enjoyed myself.” Reflecting on his previous playing style, he added, “Last year I played a lot inside the pitch, but as I say, I enjoyed it, and hopefully I can bring assists and goals to the team.”
