Celtic have announced the signing of Aaron Mooy on a two-year deal until 2024. The player joins as a free agent after leaving Shanghai Port, and is now back in Europe once again.
The midfielder has reunited with former Australia national team manager Ange Postecoglou at Celtic. He has been presented as a new player for the club, and will be wearing the number 13 shirt for the coming seasons.
Celtic announce the signing of Aaron Mooy and Moritz Jenz
The Australian was wanted by several clubs in the Championship, having featured for Brighton, Manchester City and Huddersfield Town in England.
Alongside Aaron Mooy, the Scottish club have also announced the signing of Mortiz Jenz on a loan deal from Lorient. There is an option to buy the central defender included in the contract, which will become active at the end of the loan spell. Jenz is from the Fulham academy, and made a move to Swiss side Lausanne-Sport before moving to Ligue 1.
Here is what Ange Postecoglou had to say about the new signings: “I’m delighted that we’ve been able to bring in both Aaron and Moritz to the club, and I’m sure they’ll be great additions to our squad.
“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.
“Moritz is a player we’ve been aware for a while now, and I’m pleased that we’ve been able to sign him. They’ve already had the chance to meet the rest of the squad, and I’m sure they’ll settle in very quickly.”
