Rocky Bushiri, born on 30 November 1999 (age 26), is a DR Congo central defender whose senior career has settled most firmly at Hibernian. Earlier loan spells gave him the usual defender’s education: minutes, mistakes, and enough exposure to senior football to make the next step less theoretical.
That next step has been Easter Road. Wearing squad number 33, Bushiri has become a regular Hibs presence across five seasons, making 109 league appearances and scoring six league goals. His most productive league campaign came in 2024-25, when he scored three times in 28 appearances.
He has remained firmly involved in 2025-26. For Hibernian, he has made 25 league appearances and scored three league goals, with further outings in the League Cup, Scottish Cup, European qualifiers and Africa CON, taking him to 34 appearances and five goals in all competitions for the season. He has also featured twice for DR Congo in African World Cup qualifying.
Bushiri’s career is now strongly associated with Hibernian: a centre-half who has moved beyond development status and into regular first-team use, while continuing to add the odd goal from the back.
