Hibs striker Dominique Malonga has been called up to the latest Congo squad.

Congo face Kenya, maaged by former Hibs boss Bobby 'if you want entertaiment go to the cinema' Williamson, on Friday 12th June, in an African Nations Cup qualifier.

If selected Dom, who was linked with English side Burnley yesterday, will pick up his 5th cap for his country.

Speaking to the official site, Malonga said:

“I’m very disappointed that we didn’t manage to go up, but I believe we will be good enough to go one step further next season and achieve promotion.

“I thought our fans were magnificent last Saturday – the support was inspirational and I look forward to playing at Easter Road again. I think we can improve as a team and that is exciting.

“Now I’m going away with my family on a short holiday before I join up with Congo for our qualifier against Kenya.

“I’m definitely excited about playing for my country again and hopefully I can help Congo to win.”
