Jahmai Simpson-Pusey is set to make his mark at Celtic after securing a season-long loan from Manchester City. The 19-year-old defender, who captained City to victory in the 2024 FA Youth Cup final, is ready to demonstrate his skills and elevate his game in the Scottish Premiership.

A Promising Talent

Simpson-Pusey, an England Under-18 international, has already made six senior appearances for Manchester City, including starts in both the Premier League and Champions League. Despite not featuring in the first team from January onwards, he led City to a Premier League 2 play-off final victory over Southampton, showcasing his leadership and defensive prowess.

Celtic's New Addition

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has expressed his excitement about Simpson-Pusey's arrival, highlighting the young defender's qualities. "Jahmai is a quick, dominant centre-half. He is a strong defender but can also move the ball forward very well as we progress through the pitch," Rodgers said. "I believe he will be an important, quality addition to our squad."

Looking Ahead

Simpson-Pusey is eager to seize this opportunity and contribute to Celtic's success. "It's such a big club and I'm happy to come here, play in front of the fans, and play for the team," he said. "This is a big opportunity. I want to come here and show my talent and my levels."

With the new season on the horizon, Simpson-Pusey's addition to Celtic's squad promises to bring fresh energy and competition, as the team aims to defend their Scottish Premiership title and make an impact in European competitions.
