Celtic are delighted to announce that Steve O'Halloran has re-signed for the club as a player/coach for the 2020/21 season.

Steve, who joined Celtic in June 2019 went on to become club captain last season, making 37 appearances in all competitions.

He finished second place in the Fans Player of the Season award and third place in the Players Player of the Year award.

Having signed for his second season at Celtic, he will also combine his player duties with a new role as part of Simon Haworth's backroom staff.

On re-signing for Celtic, Steve said: " I am delighted to be signing back on for another season with Celtic. Last season was a solid year for the club which I hope we can only go and improve upon for the new season. 

"I've spoken with the gaffer and he's offered me a great chance to come back in a player/coach role. I'm excited with my new role at Stalybridge. I hope I can use my knowledge and experience to help support the players and staff. Hopefully it won't be too much longer until football is back, I can't wait to get going again."

Simon Haworth was also pleased to secure Steve for another season and thinks his experience will be key to helping Celtic's younger looking squad, he said: "We are pleased to have Steve back, I thought he led the team by example last season and was a really good captain. 

"He gave us his all every week, always 100% with a great attitude. I've had a chat with Steve, realised that he is a year older but we want to keep him registered as a player as I still think he can be an asset to the team and certainly be an example for the younger players around him. 

"I felt like he was the right candidate to step in and do a bit of coaching. He is going to be a player/coach, predominantly working on the fitness side of things and doing some normal coaching too. He'll be great for all the younger players, especially the young defenders. 

"I'm made up to be helping him on his first rung on the coaching ladder."
