Hibs’ striker Dominique Malonga has been selected by Congo for an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The 26-year-old could receive his fifth international cap if selected for his country’s Group E qualifier against Kenya, managed by former Hibernian boss Bobby Williamson, on Friday 12 June.
Malonga told the club website: “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.”
