Jurgen Degabriele (born 10 October 1996) is a Maltese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Maltese Premier League side Hibernians and the Malta national football team.
Club career
Jurgen Degabriele grew through the Hibernians youth system. At age 14, he had a trial with Triestina.
He attracted interest from Calcio Padova, being involved in a friendly during a trial. However, he refused to join them, claiming to have been ignored and mistreated throughout his trial. In 2016, he signed a five-year contract with the Hibernians senior side.
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.
On 18 May 2018, Degabriele bagged four goals and condemned Lija Athletic to relegation.
International career
Degabriele was part of the Malta youth squads, namely the under-17, under-19 and under-21.
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. Degabriele's first match with the Malta national football team was against Armenia in a 1–1 draw.
