Former Celtic star set to sign for West Brom

Tom Rogic has been without a club since departing Celtic Park at the end of his contact last season.

However, according to Midlands football reporter John Percy, the Australian midfielder looks set to sign a deal to join West Bromwich Albion.

He posted: “Former #Celtic midfielder Tom Rogic is in talks with #wba and expected to sign. Rogic is a free agent after leaving Celtic at the end of last season.”

Rogic became a cult-hero for the Hoops after winning six Scottish Premiership titles with the club, as well as five Scottish Cups and five Scottish League Cups.

The 29-year-old made 272 appearances for the Bhoys across a nine-year spell, scoring 46 goals and providing 49 assists.

He was a key figure in the team that dominated Scottish football for a decade and only chose to leave at the back end of last season for a new challenge.

Speaking after his final game at Celtic Park, he said: “It’s been a phenomenal journey with some magical moments.”

“It has been an honour to be a part of this experience. While I am so sad to leave, I feel so proud to be part of a team that has delivered the title again for our fans.

“The club is in a great position and I know the manager will take the club on and deliver more and more success.”

If his signing is indeed confirmed by West Brom, he will become the seventh summer arrival at the Hawthorns, joining Okay Yokuslu, Jayson Molumby, Jed Wallace, John Swift, Brandom Thomas-Asante and Martin Kelly at the club.
