Ghana defender Gideon Baah has declared himself fit after an injury-ravaged 12 months spell on the sidelines.

The 25-year-old, who plays for Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls, has recovered after being sidelined with a knee injury for the past one-year.

The former Asante Kotoko left-back has been putting his fitness in shape after joining group training with his club.

"A year ago I was down but now am up and stronger than ever. Thanks to all who stood by me and held me up. Now am ready to compete," Baah wrote.
