Asante Kotoko’s versatile midfielder Justice Blay has expressed his readiness to extend his contract with the club as the new Ghana Premier League season approaches.
The 32-year-old midfielder has been adapted into a defensive role over the past season, but he is eager to commit his future to the Porcupine Warriors.
Blay, who has been a key player for Kotoko, stated that he is prepared to sign a new deal if the club presents an offer. “I am happy at Kotoko so I will definitely renew my contract when the authorities want me to stay,” he told the media during the club’s open day with the press.
Kotoko faced numerous challenges last season, experimenting with various players in different positions. Blay, initially known for his midfield prowess, was deployed primarily as a defender. Despite the team’s struggles, Blay’s commitment to the club remains steadfast.
As Kotoko prepares for the new season, they will take their preseason preparations to another level with a friendly against Medeama SC on Friday, August 16, 2024, to inaugurate the new T and A Stadium.
Following this, the team will travel to Washington DC for an international friendly against DC United. The new league season will commence in the first week of September, with Kotoko set to face Karela United in their opening match.
