He was coveted by a number of clubs across Europe and his arrival is a sign of his ambition, which is matched by ours.”
“Justin is an exciting and versatile attacking player who has an eye for goal. He is pacey, direct and boasts a high level of technical ability.”
Adding, “Although he only recently turned 24, Justin has a wealth of experience and has played domestically at the highest level in five different countries.”
“We are all very much looking forward to working with Justin, a player we believe will be a great addition to our squad and someone our supporters will enjoy watching.”
