Jay-Jay signs on in Qatar

Former Bolton star Jay-Jay Okocha completed his move to Qatar Sports Club.

Former Bolton star Jay-Jay Okocha completed his move to Qatar Sports Club on Tuesday evening.

The midfielder ended his four-year association with The Trotters earlier in the summer after failing to thrash out a new deal.

The skilful Nigerian's free transfer status made him an attractive proposition and he was lured to the ambitious Qatari league by Sports Club.

Qatar Sports Club board member Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad bin Nasser Al Thani confirmed a deal had been reached and is looking for Okocha to take the club forward.

"Of course, Jay-Jay is here to help us win silverware," the official said in a statement on the Asian Football Confederation website.

"He has passed the medical and will join the team in a training camp in the Czech Republic soon."
