We’re pleased to confirm the signing of defender Jack Kenny on a three-month loan from Chester FC.

The 21-year-old signs for Celtic from the National League North side, where he’s been since the summer after earning a move from Avro. Jack was a key figure for Avro, playing a leading role in their promotion to the Northern Premier League Premier Division.

Having come through the academy at Stockport County, Jack gained senior experience on loan at Stockport Town and Avro before an impressive full season at Chadderton where he made over 50 appearances. A return to Avro last season saw him instrumental in Avro’s promotion to Step 3 as their captain.

After securing Jack’s signing, Jon Macken, said: “We’re delighted to get Jack in and know what quality he will bring to us.

“He’s a player we’ve wanted for a long-time and I’m really pleased we’re able to have him on board.

“Even at a young age, he’s got a lot of experience and leadership qualities so we’re really chuffed to be working with him.”

Welcome to Celtic Jack!
