Ghanaian goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott’s Hibernian debut ends in heavy defeat

Black Stars goalkeeper, Joseph Wollacott made his debut for Scottish Premiership club Hibernian on Thursday after joining months ago.

Wollacott after switching camp from English lower-tier side Charlton Athletic made his first appearance.

Having trained with his new teammates over the past few weeks, Wollacott was given the opportunity to start in goal for Hibernian in a pre-season friendly against English side Bournemouth.

Despite showcasing his skills with some impressive saves, both Wollacott and his team ended up on the losing side. Bournemouth proved to be a formidable opponent, securing a comfortable 4-0 victory by scoring twice in each half.

The first-half goals from David Brooks and Jaidon Anthony made the difference, while a brace from Philip Billing in the second half secured the friendly victory for AFC Bournemouth.

Looking ahead, Wollacott will be eager to maintain a clean sheet in Hibernian’s next friendly match as he aims to prove himself worthy of the number one spot before the start of the new football season.

His performance in upcoming matches will be crucial in solidifying his place in the team and showcasing his abilities to secure the coveted starting position.
