Hibs’ striker Dom Malonga came on as a substitute for Congo during his country’s 1-1 draw against Kenya at Stade Marien Ngouabi in Owando.
In the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations Group E Qualifier, Congo went a goal down to Kenya, managed by ex-Hibs boss Bobby Williamson, before equalising via the penalty spot.
Paris-born Malonga, 26, won his fifth cap after electing to play for his parents’ home country in 2014, after coming off the bench in the 63rd minute to replace Fabrice Ondama.
As a result, Malonga is scheduled to join up with the rest of Hibernian’s first team squad at the end of June – Head Coach Alan Stubbs has granted him a few extra days after his international call-up.
Malonga who contributed 16 goals during his debut season at Easter Road, is likely to be a key player  as Hibernian challenge for promotion from the Championship.
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
