Ghana defender John Paintsil has started training with English side Millwall in a bid to keep himself fit, Ghanasoccernet.com can exclusively report.

The right-back, who recently left Israeli outfit Hapoel Tel Aviv, will train with the club as he fights to get a team.

The move is meant to keep the defender fit as his agents continue to trawl the market for an opportunity for the Ghanaian to sign for a club.

He has not been offered a trial at Millwall but just a mere chance to keep himself fit in case a club should ask about his fitness.

Pantsil will train with Millwall’s first team until he gets a club.

The right-back played for English sides West Ham, Fulham and Leicester City before returning to Israel last year to the club where he started his European career.
