The 30-year-old has now put pen to paper on a one-year contract with Baroka with the option of extending it for another year.

Baroka CEO Morgan Mamilla has confirmed the deal, he also revealed that an agreement has been met between the two to continue their working hand in hand.

‘It’s done, the boy is mine now,’ Mamilla told KickOff.com.

‘Baroka and Celtic are working together now. [Our relationship] is more of [working] hand in hand when it comes to players. For Massa to come to us there was sort of a brotherhood agreement. He has signed for two years. It’s one plus a one-year option but we are going to exercise the option.’

He added: ‘I’m looking more for hungry players. Massa is a hungry player when you compare him to other strikers. Now it’s time for him to prove that he can play because he wasn’t playing regularly at Celtic. He said he want to play and remember he is a captain of a national team. All the players are looking up to him. So it’s a challenge for him but I think he will do well.’

Baroka have recently confirmed the signing of 13 new players to bolster the squad for the season ahead.
