Former King Faisal and Asante Kotoko midfielder Baba Yahaya has joined Lebanese third-tier side Saida SC as a free agent ahead of the new campaign.

The 24-year-old Ghanaian is expected to bring his experience to the club as they look to improve on their performance from last season and push for promotion to a higher division.

Saida SC finished third in Group B of the Lebanese Third Division in their previous campaign, falling short of securing promotion. They will now aim to make a stronger challenge in the upcoming season.

Yahaya arrives with considerable experience, having featured in 134 matches during his career. The midfielder has scored seven goals and provided nine assists across those appearances.

His move to Lebanon offers him a fresh opportunity to continue his career while helping Saida SC pursue their ambitions in the domestic league.
