Young Celt, Francis Turley signs new four-year deal with the Hoops

Celtic Football Club are delighted that announce that Academy youngster, Francis Turley has signed a new contract with the Hoops. Following an impressive pre-season with the first-team, the 18-year-old has put pen to paper on a new four-year-deal at Paradise. Initially joining the club after catching the eye of scouts with Glentoran, the midfielder made the move to Glasgow in the summer of 2022. After spending a year with the Under-18s, which also saw him play a part in lifting the Scottish Youth Cup at Hampden Park, he made the step-up to the B team last season. Since then, Turley has continued to grow from strength to strength and was rewarded with an opportunity to train with Brendan Rodgers’ squad in pre-season. And as well as being part of the squad for the United States tour, when he also made some appearances in the friendly matches, the youngster also managed to get his name on the scoresheet in pre-season, grabbing a goal in the victory over Queen’s Park. Now, following that impressive pre-season, the Irish teenager has signed a new long-term deal with Celtic.
