Former Ghanaian footballer Tijani Joshua, who played for several clubs in the domestic league, has reportedly passed away at the age of 34, according to Ghanaian journalist Nuhu Adam.
The lanky defender featured for Sekondi Hasaacas, Wa All Stars, AshantiGold SC and Aduana FC during his playing career. He was primarily a left-back but could also operate at centre-back.
He also represented Ghana at international level, earning a place in the national team under coach Maxwell Konadu ahead of the 2013 WAFU Nations Cup.
Joshua was part of the Black Galaxies team that won the competition after beating Senegal 3-1 in the final, helping Ghana secure the title.
He later featured for the home-based national team again at the 2014 African Nations Championship (CHAN), where the team finished as runners-up losing to hosts Libya in the final.
His reported passing is a sad development for Ghanaian football, with Tijani Joshua having represented several clubs and the national team during his career.
