Polish defender set for three-year deal
Celtic have announced the signing of defender Jaroslaw Fojut on a pre-contract agreement.
The 24-year-old former Poland Under-20 international is set to move to Glasgow this summer on a three-year deal once his spell at Slask Wroclaw comes to an end.
Fojut spent five years at Bolton from 2004 to 2009, making one Premier League appearance for the club.
During that time, he also enjoyed a loan spell at Luton Town - scoring three goals - before later joining Stockport County in 2008.
It was in his time at Luton that Celtic boss Neil Lennon first became aware of Fojut's talents.
"I actually played against him when he was on loan at Luton for Nottingham Forest and often wondered what happened to him," Lennon told the club's
official website.
Really impressed
"He was on loan from Bolton at the time and I was really impressed by him. So John Park and myself got talking, and his name came up again. We did a bit of homework on him since then.
"I think he's been in excellent form for his club this year and on the verge of international recognition. To get him on a pre-contract is a good bit of business again for the club.
"He's strong, technically good, quick, and he's very good in the air. At 24, he's at a good age. He had a bad injury and was out of football for around a year but it looks like he's come back stronger than ever, and I'm pleased with the signing.
"I think his all-round game is very good. He has been playing at a decent level of football from a young age but what I like about him is his physical qualities.
"He already knows the British game, so I don't think it will take him too long to adapt to the rigours of Scottish football."
