Jurgen Degabriele (born October 10, 1996) is a Maltese professional footballer, currently playing with Hibernians in the Maltese Premier League.

Club career[]

Jurgen Degabriele grew through the Hibernians youth system. At age 14, he had a trial with Triestina.[1]

He attracted interest from Calcio Padova, being involved in a friendly during a trial.[2] However, he refused to join them, claiming to have been ignored and mistreated throughout his trial.[3] In 2016, he signed a five-year contract with the Hibernians senior side.[4]

Degabriele established himself as an up-and-coming important player for Hibernians, playing a part in the club's winning of the 2016–17 Premier League.[5]

On 18 May 2018, Degabriele bagged four goals and condemned Lija Athletic to relegation.[6]

International career[]

Degabriele was part of the Malta youth squads, namely the under-17, under-19 and under-21.[7]

Upon being promoted as national team manager, Ray Farrugia called up Degabriele to the senior squad, amongst other players, for a training camp in Austria.[8][9][10] Degabriele's first match with the Malta national football team was against Armenia in a 1–1 draw.[11][12]
