Black Stars midfielder, Elisha Owusu has extended his stay at French Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre, signing a new three-year contract.
The Ghana international inked the new deal on Wednesday, June 26th, and the new contract is expected to expire in 2027.
Owusu joined Auxerre in January 2023 from Belgium club Gent, with his initial contract set to expire in June 2025.
“Great news for AJA: Elisha Owusu has extended his contract until June 2027! Our vice-captain, great architect of the rise in Ligue 1 with 33 matches played and an unforgettable goal to offer victory in the derby against Troyes (2-1), therefore links his future with that of the club.
“Arriving in January 2023, Elisha was unfortunately seriously injured and was unable to play in Ligue 1 in the blue and white jersey. Determined, always smiling, he finally came back even stronger to help the AJA return to the elite. His performances even allowed him to play in the last African Cup of Nations with Ghana, alongside his teammate Gideon Mensah.
“This contract extension is therefore a strong symbol of the club's ambition to perform at the highest level and the entire AJA is delighted that the adventure with Elisha continues,” Auxerre said in an official club statement.
