Celtic Football Club has signed goalkeeper Sam Johnstone on a season-long loan deal from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Johnstone, who once played for the England national team, will join the Scottish champions to provide competition for Finland international Viljami Sinisalo. At 33, Johnstone made 17 appearances for Wolves last season but lost his starting role in December and has not played since an FA Cup match against Liverpool in early March. Johnstone began his career at Manchester United and has played for several top-tier clubs, including Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion, and Crystal Palace. He earned his last of four caps for England in 2023. Speaking about his move to Celtic, Johnstone said, "I'm buzzing to be here and I'm excited to get going." He also mentioned that former England goalkeeper Joe Hart had recently reached out to him, highlighting the quality of the club, the team, and the passionate fanbase. While he was already familiar with Celtic’s reputation, his recent visit to the club confirmed the high standards and pressure to succeed, which he finds motivating. Kasper Schmeichel had been the first-choice goalkeeper for Celtic since the summer of 2024, but he played his last match in February and retired due to a shoulder injury. Manager Martin O'Neill praised Johnstone, saying, "He is a quality keeper with excellent experience at the highest level. I think he will be a very good addition to our goalkeeping team." Johnstone’s arrival is expected to strengthen Celtic’s goalkeeping options as they prepare for the upcoming season.
