Kyogo signs new Celtic 4 year contract as Hoops hero hands champions massive boost to kick off Brendan Rodgers era

Kyogo has handed Celtic a massive boost for the Brendan Rodgers era by penning a four year contract extension at Parkhead.

The Hoops talisman has been a revelation since moving to the east end of Glasgow two years ago under former boss Ange Postecoglou and he has been linked with a move away following the departure of the man who brought him to Scotland. But Kyogo has signed a contract to keep him at the Treble champions at least until 2027.

He told the club website: “I am very happy to extend my stay for four years at this incredible club. It is an honour to represent Celtic Football Club and our amazing supporters. Last season was unbelievable. From the start of the campaign, our aim was to do as well as we could in every competition we played in. We worked very hard every day, on and off the pitch, to win silverware and put smiles on our fans’ faces. They have been so supportive of me since I joined Celtic so I will work hard to repay them.

Next season our objective is the same - to bring success to our Club. I am excited to defend our trophies and the opportunity to represent this huge club in the Champions League. My personal motivation is to score more goals and help my team-mates win matches.

“I am looking forward to getting started and working with Brendan. He is a top-level manager, he knows the club and knows what it takes to win silverware here. I and my team mates are looking forward to working with him.”

Rodgers added: “It is brilliant news for the club. Kyogo is an important player for us so I am delighted he has signed a new contract. Kyogo has thrived since he arrived in Scottish football and has shown his outstanding qualities. In two seasons, he has secured five domestic honours, scored over 50 club goals and become a Treble winner. This takes a lot of hard work, dedication and sacrifice both on and off the pitch.

“He is an exciting player who is hungry to bring more success to our club. He has a great mentality and is an unbelievable talent. I am looking forward to working with him and helping him and the wider team develop to help drive the club forward.”
