Man City Prospect Jahmai Simpson-Pusey Joins Celtic on Season-Long Loan

The 19-year-old signs to accelerate his development through regular first-team football, bolstering Celtic’s defence ahead of their Scottish Premiership opener.

Overview

  • Simpson-Pusey will wear the No. 4 shirt at Parkhead and is poised to make his debut against Aberdeen in Celtic’s league opener.
  • Brendan Rodgers hailed him as a quick, dominant centre-half whose ball-playing skills fit the team’s build-from-the-back approach.
  • Last season the defender made six senior appearances for Manchester City and captained their Under-21s to the 2024 PL2 title.
  • Simpson-Pusey said he is eager to showcase his talent in front of Celtic fans and help the club win domestic honours and progress in Europe.
  • The move aligns with Manchester City’s strategy of loaning academy graduates for regular top-flight experience while strengthening Celtic’s squad depth.
