Le Havre FC have signed free agent Josh Maja (27), the Ligue 1 side has announced. The Nigeria international centre-forward left EFL Championship side West Bromwich Albion upon the expiry of a three-year deal this summer. Maja returns to France after spending three campaigns with Bordeaux, from 2019 to 2021, and from 2022-2023. Maja scored 16 goals with Les Marine et Blanc in that Ligue 2 season. Maja will wear the No. 9 jersey.
The 27-year-old Maja will look to bring his experience to Le Havre. He has signed a one-year deal with an option for a second season. The Normans are expected to fight to maintain their Ligue 1 status beyond May 2027. Le Havre were in the market for a centre-forward after parting ways with Issa Soumaré, who joined Ligue 1 rivals Rennes as a free agent.
