Celtic complete double signing as club confirm arrival of Aaron Mooy and Moritz Jenz

Celtic have strengthened their squad ahead of the new season with a double signing after confirming the arrivals of midfielder Aaron Mooy and defender Moritz Jenz.

Mooy, an Australian international who previously worked under Ange Postecoglou during his time in charge of the Socceroos, arrives on a free transfer having left Chinese side Shanghai Port.

The 31-year-old is no stranger to the Scottish football having spent two years at St Mirren between 2010 and 2012, while he also has spells in England with Manchester City, Huddersfield and Brighton.

It is reported that he has signed a one-year deal with the option of an extension.

Jenz, meanwhile, has arrived from French club Lorient. The German centre-back was on Celtic’s radar last summer when he was with Lausanne-Sport but he opted for a move to Ligue 1 instead, where he made 17 appearances last season.

The terms of his transfer have not been confirmed but reports in France suggested that the 24-year-old would join the Hoops on a season-long loan deal with the possibility of an option to buy also being negotiated.
