Joseph Wollacott left because we couldn’t guarantee him enough game time - Hibernian Sporting Director

Black Stars goalkeeper Joseph Wollacott has officially joined English League One side Crawley Town after leaving Scottish League side Hibernian.

The 27-year-old endured a frustrating stint in Scotland, making just eight appearances in his sole season with Hibernian.

Wollacott had originally signed a three-year deal with Hibernian, but a thigh injury sidelined him for a significant period.

Upon his return, he struggled to reclaim his starting spot, leading to his departure from the club.

The move marks Wollacott’s return to League One, where he previously played for Charlton Athletic before his move to Hibernian. His experience and familiarity with the league make him a valuable addition to Crawley Town.

Hibernian Sporting Director Malky Mackay commented on Wollacott’s exit, saying, First of all I would like to thank Jojo for his efforts during his time with us. Unfortunately, we couldn’t guarantee Jojo as much game time as he would like, we agreed it was best for him to continue his career down south, in a league that he knows well.

“Everyone at the Club wishes Jojo the best of luck for the future.”
