  • Maja joins Le Havre on a two-year contract with an option for an additional year, seeking to revive his career in France where he previously scored 29 goals for Bordeaux.
  • The move aims to bolster Le Havre's attack as they aim to avoid relegation, while Maja seeks to replicate his past success in the league.

Josh Maja has completed his move to French Ligue 1 side Le Havre, signing a two-year deal with an option for a further year. The Nigerian striker joins on a free transfer after his contract with West Bromwich Albion expired.

Maja's move to Le Havre is seen as a strategic reinforcement for the club's attack, particularly following the departure of Issa Soumare. Le Havre, having narrowly avoided relegation last season, hopes Maja's goal-scoring prowess will help them steer clear of another battle against the drop.

This transfer marks a return to French football for Maja, who previously had a successful spell at Bordeaux, netting 29 goals in 93 appearances. His career statistics show 81 goals in 291 appearances for club and country. Despite a bit-part role at West Brom in his final season, where he scored four league goals in forty appearances, Maja will be aiming to reignite his career in a league where he has a proven track record.

Josh Maja has joined Ligue 1 side Le Havre from West Brom. Wishing him all the best in this new chapter.
