Alex Gogic has been called up to the Cyprus squad for the first time.

The Hibs midfielder has been included in Loukas Hadjiloukas' 24-man unit for the upcoming Nations League matches against Montenegro and Azerbaijan.

The 26-year-old represented his country at youth level but this is his maiden inclusion in the senior squad.

It comes as a reward for fine play to start his career at Easter Road. Gogic moved this summer after impressing for Hamilton Accies over a three-year spell following his exit from Swansea City.

He follows in the footsteps of his father Siniša Gogić, who represented his adopted nation of Cyprus 37 times after switching allegiances from his native Yugoslavia.
