Myziane Maolida (born 14 February 1999) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for Scottish Premiership club Hibernian, on loan from 2. Bundesliga club Hertha BSC.[2] Born in France, he plays for the Comoros national team.

Club career[edit]

Lyon[edit]

Maolida developed through the Lyon academy. He made his Ligue 1 debut on 5 August 2017 in a 4–0 home win against Strasbourg, entering the field after 76 minutes for Mariano.[3] He scored his first goal on 23 November 2017 in a 4–0 victory over Apollon Limassol in the UEFA Europa League.[4] Three days later, he scored his first goal in Ligue 1 in a 5–0 away win against Nice.[5]

Nice[edit]

In August 2018, Maolida signed with Ligue 1 side Nice agreeing a five-year contract with a reported release clause of about €100 million. Lyon received a transfer fee of €10 million plus 30% from future transfer profits.[6][7] He debuted for Nice on 18 August 2018 in 1–1 draw against SM Caen.[8]

Hertha BSC[edit]

2021–22[edit]

On 31 August 2021, Maolida signed a four-year contract with Bundesliga club Hertha BSC for a transfer fee of €4 million.[9][10] He immediately scored in his league debut on 12 September in a 3–1 away victory over VfL Bochum.[11] In the 2021–22 season, Maolida made 14 league appearances, scoring the one goal, as he was mainly a substitute.[12] Finishing 16th in the league table, Hertha BSC retained their Bundesliga status after beating out Hamburger SV in playoffs for promotion and relegation.[13] Maolida appeared in both games as a late substitute.[12]

2022–23: Loan to Reims[edit]

On 31 January 2023, after only three league appearances for Hertha in the first half of the 2022–23 Bundesliga season, Maolida joined Stade de Reims back in France on a loan deal until the end of the season.[14] He made nine appearances in the second half of the 2022–23 Ligue 1 season, scoring one goal.[15] After the loan expired, he rejoined Hertha, which were since relegated from the Bundesliga after finishing the season in last place.

2023–24: Loan to Hibernian[edit]

Hertha BSC were looking to sell Maolida in the summer transfer window prior to the 2023–24 season, but contract negotiations between Maolida and Turkish side Ankaragücü failed.[16] In August 2023, Hertha coach Pál Dárdai demoted Maolida to the second team Hertha BSC II, playing in the Regionalliga Nordost.[17][18] He was loaned to Scottish Premiership club Hibernian in January 2024.[19]

International career[edit]

Born in France to Comorian and Malagasy parents, Maolida was a youth international for France.[20]

He debuted with the Comoros national team in a 4–2 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Central African Republic on 17 November 2023, scoring his side's fourth goal in his debut.[21] In his second game for the national team, he scored the winner in a 1–0 victory over Ghana.[10]
