Former Black Stars defender reportedly dies at 34

Former Ghanaian footballer Tijani Joshua has reportedly passed away at the age of 34, leaving the Ghanaian football community mourning the loss of a player who enjoyed a career in the domestic top flight and represented the national team.

The news was first reported by Ghanaian journalist Nuhu Adams, with tributes expected to follow for the former defender, who featured for several clubs in the Ghana Premier League.

Joshua turned out for Sekondi Hasaacas, Wa All Stars, AshantiGold SC and Aduana FC during his playing career, earning a reputation as a reliable defender.

Although his natural position was left-back, he was also capable of playing at centre-back, giving his teams added defensive options.

His performances at club level earned him a call-up to Ghana’s home-based 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 defeating Senegal 3-1 in the final, securing one of the notable achievements of his career.

He later represented Ghana at the 2014 African Nations Championship (CHAN) in South Africa, where the Black Galaxies finished second after losing to Libya in the final.
