The Congolese Kante! Corneille is an absolute pest to opponents with his ridiculous ability at stealing the ball off of opponents toes. Joining in 2023, Corny quickly became a key member of the midfield, winning the ball and often being able to pivot past opponents to get the team moving.

The Heel Snapper

Corneille played the 3rd division football with Atosh FC in his native DR Congo before moving to Poland. In Warsaw, Corny played for Liga Okręgowa for Agape Białołęka before coming to Krakow.

He originally trialled for the Dragoons and joined the club ahead of the 2023/24 season. An all action defensive midfielder, Corneille impressed on his debut against Fairant in the Puchar Polski and won the man of the match award.

Malonga became a key member for the Dragoons, snapping at heels to win the ball and pirouetting past opponents with ease. It is said Corny could run 3 marathons in one day and still not be tired.

#FunFact

Corny grew up playing as a striker, and then after he hit 15, he started to play as a winger. At 22 he started to play in midfield. He also trialled with the Dragoons as right back.
