In a move aimed at furthering his development, Lawal will spend the 2023/24 campaign on a season-long loan at English club Fleetwood Town, managed by former Celtic captain Scott Brown.
Lawal, who joined Celtic from Watford, is regarded as one of the brightest prospects within the club’s youth system. The new contract is a clear indication of Celtic’s belief in Lawal’s potential and their commitment to his long-term future at the club.
As part of his continued development, the decision has been made to send Lawal on loan to Fleetwood Town, a club competing in the English Football League. This move is designed to provide the young defender with regular first-team football and the opportunity to gain valuable experience in a competitive environment.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has a well-established reputation for nurturing young talent, and the club’s decision to secure Lawal’s future suggests that he is highly regarded within Celtic Park.
Celtic fans will be keeping a close eye on Lawal’s progress at Fleetwood Town, hoping that the experience he gains while on loan will prepare him for a successful future in the Hoops.
