Matt O'Riley signs new Celtic 4 year contract as he lists Parkhead selling points that saw him end transfer uncertainty

Matt O'Riley has penned a new contract at Celtic as the Japanese commits to Parkhead until 2027.

The midfielder had been the subject of reportedly lengthy contract talks with Brendan Rodgers ' men but has now extended his terms in Glasgow for a further four years. It will be music to the ears of Hoops fans who have seen Callum McGregor, Liel Abada, Kyogo, Daizen Maeda, Anthony Ralston and Reo Hatate recently sign new terms with Scottish Premiership champions.

Now O'Riley will remain as a key part of the champions' squad for the foreseeable future after an impressive start to the campaign - which has sparked speculation over a call-up to the Danish national side for his first full international cap. Speaking to Celtic TV, O'Riley said: "It’s probably hard to put it into a short sentence but I think everybody knows how much I enjoy playing here, especially at Celtic Park because I don’t think you get that anywhere else.

"I think it’s important going into training every day really enjoying the company of your team-mates, being able to have a laugh and being able to push each other as well.

"If you’ve got a good relationship off the pitch, it naturally makes it easier to demand high standards from each other, and right now I think we’ve got a real good balance of youth and experience.

"I’m still pretty young but I’m probably in the middle of that because we’ve got a young team, but that dynamic and balance is really helpful."
