From England to France: Maja Signs for Le Havre

Nigerian striker Josh Maja has completed a move to French side Le Havre AC, returning to Ligue 1 following his departure from West Bromwich Albion.

The 27-year-old joined Le Havre on a free transfer after his contract with the Championship club expired, despite talks over a possible extension.

Maja has signed a one-year deal with the option of a further year and will wear the number nine shirt at the Stade Océane.

The forward is no stranger to French football, having previously played for Bordeaux between 2019 and 2023, where he scored 25 league goals in 85 appearances.

His return to France is seen as an opportunity to revive his career after a mixed spell in England.
