Ghana international, Elisha Owusu has decided to spend three more years at AJ Auxerre.

The Black Stars midfielder on Wednesday, June 26, signed a new contract with the French Ligue 1 outfit.

His contract will now end in 2027.

“Great news for AJA: Elisha Owusu has extended his contract until June 2027! Our vice-captain, great architect of the rise in Ligue 1 with 33 matches played and an unforgettable goal to offer victory in the derby against Troyes (2-1), therefore links his future with that of the club.

“Arriving in January 2023, Elisha was unfortunately seriously injured and was unable to play in Ligue 1 in the blue and white jersey. Determined, always smiling, he finally came back even stronger to help the AJA return to the elite. His performances even allowed him to play in the last African Cup of Nations with Ghana, alongside his teammate Gideon Mensah.

“This contract extension is therefore a strong symbol of the club's ambition to perform at the highest level and the entire AJA is delighted that the adventure with Elisha continues,” an official club statement from AJ Auxerre said.

Last season when AJ Auxerre competed in the French Ligue 2, Elisha Owusu played an important role for his team.

He will be leading as second captain in the 2024/25 season.
