Former Ghanaian footballer Tijani Joshua has died at the age of 34.
The former defender featured for several clubs in the Ghana Premier League, including Sekondi Hasaacas, Wa All Stars, AshantiGold SC and Aduana FC.
A natural left-back, Joshua was also capable of playing at centre-back, with his versatility making him a dependable option for the teams he represented.
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 squad that won the competition in 2013 after defeating Senegal 3-1 in the final.
He later represented Ghana at the 2014 African Nations Championship (CHAN) in South Africa, where the Black Galaxies finished as runners-up after losing to Libya in the final.
His death represents a loss to Ghanaian football, with the former defender remembered for his contributions to club and country during his playing career.
