Another Australian is joining Scottish football giants Celtic, with Socceroos midfielder Aaron Mooy confirmed as the club’s latest signing.
Key points:
- Mooy joins a team with two Australians, Ange Postecoglou and Harry Kewell, on the coaching staff
- Celtic won the Scottish Premiership title for the 52nd time last season
- Fellow Socceroo Tom Rogic left the club after last season
In an announcement that included the signing of German defender Moritz Jenz, it was revealed that 31-year-old Mooy, who has played for Huddersfield Town and Brighton & Hove Albion, and was previously with Chinese outfit Shanghai Port would arrive on a free transfer for a two-year deal.
He reunites with Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou, who was previously in charge of the Australia team, as well as ex-Socceroos star Harry Kewell, who recently joined the coaching staff.
“I obviously know Aaron from my time coaching the Australian national team, and he brings with him a wealth of experience at both club and international level,” Postecoglou said.
Celtic won the Scottish Premiership last season for their 52nd top-flight league crown.
Mooy said he was looking forward to pulling on the famous green and white hoops of a club with “huge history”.
