Celtic Starlet Colby Donovan Signs Contract Extension Through to 2031
The 20-year-old defender has made 15 starts this season and earned his first Scotland call-up after stepping in for injured Alistair Johnston.
Celtic Football Club announced on Monday that Colby Donovan signed a new five-year contract, keeping the 20-year-old defender at Parkhead until summer 2031.
The Academy product has impressed as deputy for injured Alistair Johnston, racking up 28 appearances last term and growing in stature this season before earning the extension.
Manager Martin O'Neill praised Donovan's 'maturity, strength and resilience,' calling him a 'warrior' who has been exceptional for the club during his recent appearances.
Donovan said he was 'over the moon' with the deal and vowed 'I'm just going to keep kicking on' as he targets further progress at Celtic.
Following his recent Scotland squad call-up, Donovan draws inspiration from Academy graduates Callum and James at Celtic, positioning him as part of a continuing pipeline of homegrown talent.
