Celtic have officially confirmed the signing of Everton defender, Jonjoe Kenny.
Kenny has signed a loan deal until the end of the season and will likely feature in Celtic’s squad on Tuesday night against Kilmarnock.
In a statement released on their official website, Celtic said, “Celtic Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of Jonjoe Kenny from Everton on loan until the end of this season.
“The 23-year-old defender came through the ranks at Everton and made his first-team debut for the club in a Premier League game at home to Norwich City at the end of the 2015/16 season, having spent the rest of that campaign on a successful loan move to Wigan Athletic.
“The following year, he made another first-team appearance for the Goodison Park side, but by the 2017/18 season, he had become an established part of the Everton squad, making 25 appearances across all competitions, and adding to that total in the next campaign.
“Last season, Jonjoe Kenny spent a season on loan with Bundesliga side, Schalke O4, making 34 appearances for the German club and scoring two goals.
“Having returned to Goodison Park, he’s made eight appearances for Carlo Ancelotti’s side this season, most recently in their 3-0 FA Cup home win over Sheffield Wednesday towards the end of January.
“Everyone at Celtic welcomes Jonjoe to the club and wishes him every success during his time at Paradise.”
