CELTIC winger James Forrest has signed a contract extension that will keep him at Parkhead until the summer of 2025.
The 30-year-old found himself in and out of the starting XI this season and the occasional injury has kept the Scotland internationalist sidelined, but still racked up 32 appearances in all competitions this term.
The wide midfielder is the fourth-most decorated player in the Glasgow club's history with 10 league titles, five Scottish Cups and five League Cups to his name and manager Ange Postecoglou is keen to see the one-club man add to an already impressive legacy.
“James is my kind of player and has that attacking intent that can open up defences to make goals, not only for himself, but for others as well," Postecoglou told the Celtic website.
“He’s been a great servant to the football club thanks to his brilliant quality and attributes, and those have made him a proven contributor to the club’s success – you only have to look at his medal collection to see that.
“I know we will get more of this from him next season and beyond, and I’m delighted that this deal has been finalised.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
