We are delighted to announce that Rocky Bushiri has signed a new deal with Hibernian FC!

The 25-year-old has put pen-to-paper on a three-year contract, which extends his stay at Easter Road until the summer of 2028.

Bushiri was a key part of Hibs’ successful 2024/25 campaign, becoming a stalwart in the centre of defence and popping up with important goals along the way.

The DR Congo international’s equaliser against Aberdeen was the catalyst for the Club’s remarkable turnaround in-form, whilst he also scored an important goal during our historic run of results against Rangers.

The defender, who originally joined Hibs in January 2022, has gone on to make 105 appearances for the Club, and solidified himself as a fans’ favourite.

Bushiri will return to First Team training on Friday (27 June, 2025) with the other players that were on international duty.

On Bushiri’s new contract, Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray commented: “I am delighted that we’ve been able to agree a three-year deal with Rocky.

“Rocky played a huge part in our success last season not only on the pitch but off it in the dressing room too. As a character, he’s a perfect role model; he always works as hard as he can, is consistently trying to push himself, and he’s a real leader.

“As a player, it was clear to see we saw the best of him last season. He has the perfect physical attributes for Scottish football and was growing in confidence and developing week on week.

“We look forward to working with him and helping him develop further over the next few years.”

Hibernian FC’s Sporting Director Malky Mackay added: “Unsurprisingly there were a number of teams interested in Rocky this summer, so we’re really pleased he saw his future with us.

“We want to keep good people and good players at the Football Club, and Rocky is both of those. He’s a leader in the dressing room, cares about his teammates, and cares about the Football Club.

“He has great ambitions moving forward and a deep desire to play for DR Congo, and we want to help him achieve those. I look forward to seeing him out on the pitch again at Easter Road.”
