Thibault Klidjé has completed a loan move from Hibernian FC to Randers FC, joining the Danish Superliga side on a temporary deal starting 2026-02-02 and running until 2026-06-30. The centre-forward leaves the Scottish Premiership club on a confirmed loan transfer, with Hibernian retaining his registration and Klidjé scheduled to return to Edinburgh at the end of the agreement.
The move takes the 24‑year‑old Togo international to Denmark’s top flight, where he will line up for Randers FC while still under contract with Hibernian. According to the transaction details, the switch is categorised as a loan transfer rather than a permanent sale, meaning Randers have secured short‑term attacking reinforcement without committing to a long‑term deal. Klidjé’s current market value is listed at €2.20m, underlining the calibre of player Randers are adding to their forward options for the remainder of the campaign.
This latest move continues a career that has steadily taken Klidjé farther from his homeland. Born in Hahotoe, Togo, and standing 1.70m tall, he operates primarily as a centre-forward and prefers his right foot. After beginning his senior journey in Togo with FC Espoir de Zio and then Gomido FC, he earned a move to Europe in 2020, joining FC Girondins Bordeaux B in France. From there, his progression led him to FC Luzern in the Swiss Super League in 2022, before Hibernian secured his services ahead of the 2025/26 season.
At Luzern, Klidjé’s development was reflected in his rising market value, which climbed from €150,000 at Bordeaux B to as high as €4.00m during his time in Switzerland. That figure later adjusted following his move to Scotland, where his valuation settled at €2.20m during his stint with Hibernian. His experience now spans domestic football in Togo, France’s developmental setup with Bordeaux’s reserves, top‑flight action in Switzerland, and the Scottish Premiership, with Denmark’s Superliga becoming the latest stage of his career.
The structure of the current agreement means there is a clear contractual pathway: Klidjé plays for Randers FC on loan until 2026-06-30, after which he is set to return to Hibernian FC. Depending on Hibernian’s long‑term plans and any subsequent negotiations, his situation beyond that date could evolve, including the possibility of further moves once his parent‑club commitments are resolved.
For Randers, the acquisition of a €2.20m‑rated forward with experience across multiple European leagues bolsters their attacking depth for the run‑in. For Klidjé, the loan presents another opportunity to establish himself abroad, add to his résumé outside Togo, and enhance his standing in a new top division. How he performs in Denmark during this spell is likely to play a significant role in shaping the next step of his career when he returns to Hibernian at the end of the loan.
