Irish striker Jonathan Afolabi joins Dunfermline on loan from Celtic

Young Irish striker Jonathan Afolabi has joined Dunfermline Athletic on loan from Celtic until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old came through Southampton's youth system before signing for the Scottish champions last summer on the back of helping Ireland’s U19s make the semi-finals of the European Championships.

Afolabi has impressed for Celtic's underage sides but has gone to East End Park in search of regular senior football.

Dunfermline currently sit in fifth place in the Scottish Championship, 25 points behind leaders Dundee United.

Tallaght man Afolabi could be involved when they travel to Dumfries to take on Queen of the South on Saturday.
