Former Asante Kotoko midfielder Justice Blay has kicked off his pre-season preparations in the United States as he eyes a fresh start after leaving the Porcupine Warriors.
Blay, who joined Kotoko in 2022, was officially released by the club in June after being declared surplus to requirements ahead of the 2025/26 season.
The 33-year-old bows out having added an FA Cup medal to his name last term, capping a campaign where he featured 27 times in the Ghana Premier League and chipped in three goals as Kotoko secured a third-place finish.
In a video making rounds on social media, Blay is seen pounding the streets in the US, putting himself through solo running drills as he works to stay sharp and ready for any opportunity that comes his way.
The experienced midfielder is said to be on the lookout for a new team ahead of the upcoming campaign.
This comes just weeks after he sparked controversy with an explosive interview on Kumasi-based Pure FM, where he made a string of wide-ranging allegations against some of his former teammates.
The comments triggered heavy backlash from fans and the club’s inner circles. Blay has since issued a public apology for his outburst.
Having once been a mainstay in Kotoko’s midfield, Blay now faces the challenge of securing a fresh chapter, and if his determined solo drills on the streets of America are anything to go by, he’s not hanging up his boots just yet.
