Celtic Secure Experienced Goalkeeper | Belfast News

0:00It's September 2nd, from your city to your ears, this is BellfastNews today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Celtic just nagged a new goalkeeper, Sam Johnstone, on loan from Wolves for the whole season. This 33 year old brings a ton of experience, with over 350 league games under his belt, for clubs like Aston Villa and West Brom. He's here to add some serious competition to the goalie position. Johnstone himself said he didn't need much convincing to make the move. He mentioned that Joe Hart, a former Celtic keeper, gave him a call to talk up the club, the team, and the incredible fans. That kind of endorsement, coming from someone who knows the club's stature, really sealed the deal for him. This signing is part of a bigger push for Celtic, as they aim to finalize their squad, before the UEFA registration deadline. They've also brought in Danish midfielder Oliver Sorenson on loan, and are looking to bring in a few more players. To make room, they've seen Johnny Kenny and Real Hattate depart for the English Championship.

The Scottish transfer window stays open a bit longer, closing Thursday evening. Several other potential recruits were seen at the training ground, showing the club's active approach to strengthening the roster. It sounds like Celtic is really trying to round out their squad, with a mix of experience and new talent. With these moves, they're clearly aiming to be competitive across all fronts as the season progresses.
