Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko have finally landed their top target Justice Blay after a lengthy pursuit.

He joins Asante Kotoko for a second stint as free agent as his contract with Medeama has expired.

"It's OFFICIAL! Judge Afa N'adwa! We have re-signed midfielder @JusticeBlay_on a 2-year deal. He'll be eligible to participate in the 21/22 season from Feb 1, 2022 Blay will be unveiled before our game against Medema at Baba Yara Stadium tomorrow. Akwaba Chief Justice" a tweet from the club read.

The former Medeama SC midfielder is now a Kotoko player after penning a two year deal with the reds after leaving the mauve and yellows as a free agent.

He played his last game for the club in their 1-0 win over AshantiGold and will be registered by Kotoko when the second transfer window of the Ghana Premier League opens on 1st February.

The player was close to joining Asante Kotoko at the start of last season but the move fell through due to Medeama's astronomical valuation of their midfielder.

Justice Blay missed half of the 2020/2021 season through an injury but is now fit and has been playing for the mauve and yellows.

His contract with the Tarkwa based club expired some weeks ago after the player rebuffed all attempts by Medeama to extend his contract as the player had his sights set on joining Asante Kotoko were he had a loan spell in the 2019/2020 season.

Blay played three matches for Medeama this season scoring just a goal in the process.
