Ex-Celtic loanee who barely featured completes permanent transfer

Former Celtic loanee Jahmai Simpson-Pusey has sealed a permanent Manchester City exit by signing for FC Koln.

The centre-back was on loan at Parkhead during the early part of the season but struggled to break into the team, making just one appearance as a stand-in right-back during Martin O'Neill's first interim spell.

As a result, his loan was ended prematurely in January and he was then sent out for another loan in Germany.

This time he featured a lot more, making 11 appearances in Bundesliga and persuading Koln to make the deal permanent this summer.

That was announced today and Simpson-Pusey spoke to his club's website about making the move permanently.

He said: "I played a lot of minutes and the club put a lot of trust in me. I’m thankful for that and that’s why I wanted to stay in Köln.

"The game time, the fans, the club – that has all felt really good for me from my perspective."
