Conor Hazard Celtic transfer exit as Plymouth 'close in' on six-figure deal for Hoops keeper

Conor Hazard is ready for the Celtic exit door with a six-figure transfer fee in place, according to a report.

The Hoops are set to do a deal with newly-promoted English Championship outfit Plymouth Argyle that will see the Scottish champions need a fee with future add-ons inserted in the deal claim the Daily Record.

The Northern Ireland international is keen to kick his career into gear and become a regular first-team player. He had a very productive loan last term in Finland with HJK Helsinki and experienced Europa League action against the likes of Real Betis and Roma. He also lifted the league crown as he helped HJK make it three league triumphs on the bounce.

The 25-year-old came through the Celtic academy but finds himself down the pecking order in the goalkeeping ranks with veteran No1 Joe Hart, Scott Bain and Benjamin Siegrist all ahead of him in the glove battle. Hazard was the hero for the Hoops in the Scottish Cup Final against Hearts a couple of years back after being handed a run of games in goal.

He's picked up plenty experience with loan moves including spells at Falkirk, Partick Thistle and Dundee.

But now he looks set for a new adventure south of the border as he bids to become a first-choice regular and with that kick his international prospects back into gear and add to his handful of caps to date.
