Celtic agree contract extension for youngster Mitchel Frame

Scottish Premiership champions Celtic have agreed a contract extension with their prodigious talent Mitchel Frame, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The 17-year-old full-back, who has been making waves in the Celtic B team, has agreed to a new deal that keeps him at the club until 2026.

This news is relieving for Celtic supporters, who were growing concerned over the potential departure of Frame, with several English clubs monitoring the teenager.

Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion had all been linked with the rising star over the past year.

Frame’s journey to prominence at Celtic has been remarkable. He has demonstrated his capabilities with ten appearances for the Celtic B team, bagging a goal and an assist.

Celtic’s proactive approach to securing their top talents this summer has been evident, with contract extensions for Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda and Callum McGregor already in the bag. 

The addition of Frame to this list is a brilliant piece of business by the club.

Celtic fans eagerly anticipate further developments during the international break, hoping for additional contract renewals for players such as Matt O’Riley.

The O’Riley news comes after Leeds United’s pursuit of the young midfielder during the just-closed transfer window as they launched a £10 million bid.

Celtic will turn their attention to Reo Hatate and Rocco Vata next, hoping to tie them down new deals. Vata’s case is the most urgent as his deal expires in 2024.
