Official: Irish-Nigerian CB signs new deal with Celtic and joins Fleetwood Town on loan 

Through their official website, Celtic have announced that versatile Irish-Nigerian centre-back Bosun Lawal has extended his contract with the club to 2026.
​
​
​He will then proceed to join the English Football League One side Fleetwood Town on a loan deal for the rest of the season to garner more experience
​
​
He could make his debut for Fleetwood Town when they travel to Pride Park Stadium to face Derby County.
​
​
​He has only made one first-team appearance for Celtic since joining in 2021 from Watford which came in a Scottish Cup fixture last season against Morton.
​
​
​Despite having difficulty finding game time with the Hoops, he is highly revered by the coaching staff and that explains why he has been given a new deal.

​
​Last season, he made appearances for Celtic B team in the Scottish Lowland League and the Premier League International Cup, and played a key role as the Hoops won the Glasgow Cup.
​
​
Lawal was part of the Hoops first-team squad for the pre-season tour of Portugal and Japan.
​
​
​The 20-year-old is primarily a centre-back but can also play as a midfielder which proves his versatility.
