Rocky Bushiri

Rocky Bushiri is a Belgian-born Congolese centre-back who plays for Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership. Having come through the youth systems at Anderlecht and Norwich City, Bushiri developed his skills in two of Europe's well-respected development environments. A tall, athletic defender with good pace for his size, he excels in aerial duels and one-on-one defending. His decision to represent DR Congo at international level was a significant boost for the Leopards, bringing top-level European experience to their defensive ranks. At Hibernian, he has become a fan favourite for his commanding performances at the heart of the defence. As DR Congo embark on their second-ever World Cup campaign in 2026, Bushiri's blend of physical power and technical ability makes him a key figure in the squad.
