(Updates with statement in paragraph 3, hires in paragraph 4-5.)

NEW YORK, April 15 (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank expanded its U.S. interest rate team in New York by seven members in recent weeks, the company said in a statement on Monday.

The hires include two managing directors. Pedro Goldbaum, head of U.S. non-linear, dollar inflation and Latin American rates trading, joined from Citigroup. Michael Fisher, who handles U.S. rates sales for banks, insurance and public sector clients, was previously at Barclays.

"We see significant opportunities to gain market share in the coming years," Chris Leonard, Deutsche Bank's co-head of fixed income and currencies in the Americas, said in a statement. "This ambition is further supported by bringing on exceptional talent in strategic positions."

The firm also hired five directors, including repo trader Chris Henrich from RBC Capital Markets, options trader Liang Hong from JPMorgan and head of dollar swaps trading Chris Mcnulty from Morgan Stanley.

Deutsche Bank also added inflation trader Benoit Li from Wells Fargo and residential mortgage-backed securities trader Alexander Reiss from Barclays. (Reporting by Lananh Nguyen in New York Editing by Chris Reese and Sharon Singleton)
