Gideon Waja trains with Black Stars for the first time

Black Stars new boy Gideon Waja trained with the team for the first team on Monday.

The WAFA captain is part of coach Kwasi Appiah's 24-man squad for their 2018 World Cup qualifier against Congo at the Baba Yara Stadium on Friday.

This is his first major call up to the team - having represented the Black Stars B.

He has been impressive for his club side WAFA and his inclusion doesn't come as a surprise to many.

In June, he was drafted into the national team to make up the numbers in training ahead of the friendly matches against Mexico and USA.
