Former Gambia U-20 starlet Saja Leigh has completed a move to Scandinavia in Finland, Foroyaa Sports can reveal. The Africell defender-cum-midfielder put-pen-to-paper on a one year deal with an option to extend with Finnish club KTP after many failed attempts to sign with big European clubs.<\/p>\n

Saja who was part of Gambia’s U-17 successful team that beat Brazil in the youth World Cup in 2005 in Peru, is among KTP’s new signing following an impressive trial.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old was loaned out to Stade De Mali by Sait Matty- Africel in 2007. When his deal with the Malian giants ended. Saja returned and stayed for half a season with the GFA league outfit Africell before heading to Europe. At last he has ended a long spell out of the game with a deal with Finnish third division club KTP.<\/p>\n

KTP is in the relegation zone on ten points in twelve matches. Leigh could still move if things stand still with his club as he has only a single season to honour his contract with an option to extend.<\/p>\n

Prior to his signing, the ex-U-17 marksman had a series of trials. Among the teams he tried out with are: Major League Soccer club New York Red Bulls and Karlslund HFK.<\/p>\n
