Hibs midfielder Nathan Moriah-Welsh has joined Mansfield Town on a permanent basis for an undisclosed fee. The 23-year-old joined Hibs in January 2024 and went on to make 40 appearances during his time at the Club. Moriah-Welsh made 24 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring one goal, which came against Peterhead in the League Cup. The Guyana international will now return to England, where he has spent the majority of his playing career having come through the ranks at AFC Bournemouth before featuring for Newport County prior to joining Hibs. On his departure, Hibs Head Coach David Gray commented: 'First of all, I would like to wish Nathan all the very best for his future career. He is good professional, and he has been brilliant to work with. 'Unfortunately, we couldn't provide Nathan with as much game-time as he would've liked, due to the number of options we have in the middle of the pitch. Hopefully, he will be able to kick-on and embrace this new challenge at Mansfield Town.' Hibs Sporting Director, Malky Mackay commented: 'It was important that we found the right club and got the right deal for Nathan to make sure he continued to progress his career. He is terrific young man, a top professional and a credit to his family. 'He leaves with the very best wishes from myself and from everyone at the Football Club and we wish him the best of luck going forward.' Moriah-Welsh told the Mansfield Town website: Nathan said: 'Mansfield was the club that stood out to me the most. I've had chats with the gaffer [Nigel Clough] and Simon [Clough] and everything seemed to make sense so it's the right move at the right time to go and push on. 'Having chats with Will Evans and Aaron Lewis, good things were said about the club. 'I've played here previously in the past and it's always been a tough game so all those things added up to a good move in the end. 'I always want to improve as a player and a person. I'm an energetic midfielder who wants to get up and down and likes a tackle.' Like this: Like Related
