Championship: I Hope My Goals Will Lift West Brom - Super Eagles Forward

Newly acquired Nigeria forward Josh Maja said he hopes his goals will lift the English Championship club West Bromwich Albion this season, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The burly attacker joined the Baggies this week after he departed from the French Ligue One side Girondin Bordeaux.

"Last year was probably the best year of my career in terms of consistency, goals and game time, so yeah, I would say it was a great experience overall.

“However, I felt like I needed a fresh start just because I had been away from the United Kingdom for a while. I spent four-and-a-half years in France.

“We knew Albion were one of the clubs interested in me and our ambitions seemed to match quite well.

"I’m hardworking, which is something I’ve had in me since I was young. I’ve used that attribute all my life and I’d like to think it’s one of the main factors in why my career is where it is now.

“You’re going to get a lot of energy, a lot of goals, a lot of assists and an all-round performance from me.

“I’m not just a guy that brings goals, I want to be able to perform well every game, support my teammates in the best ways possible and do what my coaches have asked of me.

“I want to make the fans proud.

“Scoring goals is always fun and winning games is always fun. I’m hoping to do plenty of that this year with Albion", he said.
