Asante Kotoko midfielder, Justice Blay has signed a new one-year contract extension with Asante Kotoko and will now stay in Kumasi until January 2025.

Blay, joined Kotoko initially on loan in the 2019-2020 season, making 25 appearances, scoring two goals with three assists.

It didn't take long for the combative midfielder to establish himself as one of the fans favourite, with his consistent performances.

However, a permanent move for him couldn’t materialize due to his then parent club’s inability to reach an agreement with Kotoko.

The hard-tackling and workaholic midfielder has since made 49 appearances in his two stints after securing a permanent move in 2022, winning the Premier League.

Though a defensive midfielder, Blay has slotted in as a member of Ogum’s three back system, with eight appearances to his credit.

The 31-year- old current contract was due to expire at the end of the month but has put pen to paper for a further year with an option to renew for another year.
