Black Stars goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott joins Scottish side Hibernian

Hibernian FC has secured the services of goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott on a three-year contract, following an undisclosed transfer fee paid to Charlton Athletic.

Wollacott, a 26-year-old Ghanaian international with 11 caps, reunites with Hibs manager Lee Johnson, with whom he previously worked during their time together at Bristol City.

Describing Wollacott as an athletic, brave, and confident player, Johnson emphasized the importance of having strength in the goalkeeping department, especially with significant competitions on the horizon.

Having amassed over 100 appearances in his career and represented Ghana on the international stage, Wollacott brings valuable experience to the team. He unfortunately missed last year’s World Cup due to a finger injury sustained during a warm-up session prior to the tournament.

Wollacott will now compete with captain David Marshall for the goalkeeper position at Hibs. Previously, he had multiple loan spells during his seven-year tenure at Bristol City, followed by a stint with Swindon Town in the 2021-22 season. Last summer, he made the move to League One side Charlton Athletic, where he featured in 20 matches.

In addition to Wollacott, Hibs have also announced the signings of left-back Jordan Obita and veteran forward Adam Le Fondre, further bolstering their squad.
