Forgotten Celtic defender completes transfer exit to France

Forgotten Celtic defender Osaze Urhoghide has completed a transfer exit.

The centre-back, 23, has finalised a switch to French Ligue 2 side Amiens.

Urhoghide - who had joined Celtic from Sheffield Wednesday in 2021 - penned a three-year deal with the second division side.

It ends his spell at Celtic just two years into an original four-year deal at Parkhead.

Urhoghide made just one appearance for Celtic's first-team in his time in Glasgow.

He played 90 minutes in the 3-2 win over Real Betis in the Europa League group stage in 2021.

But he failed to feature in the league for Celtic and has now sealed a transfer exit to join Amiens after a spell on loan at KV Oostende.

A statement on the club website confirmed: "Amiens SC is happy to announce the arrival of Osaze URHOGHIDE for the next 3 seasons!

"At the age of 23, Osaze Urhoghide began his professional career with club AFC Wimbledon, before joining Sheffield Wednesday in 2019.

"Urhoghide subsequently joined Celtic Glasgow on July 1, 2021, signing a four-year contract with the Scottish giants. 

"Stepping onto the lawn of the prestigious Celtic Park, he makes his debut for the club in a UEFA Europa League game against Real Betis on December 9, 2021.

"Central defender, Urhoghide joins Amiens SC to strengthen the Amiens rearguard.

"Amiens SC is delighted to welcome Osaze Urhoghide to its ranks for the next 3 seasons wishing him full success in this new chapter of his career."
