Celtic are thrilled to announce the signing of exciting striker Lewis Salmon on loan from Altrincham.

The 18-year-old striker joins us until January 31, 2021.

Lewis initially joined Altrincham from Trafford in November 2019 before remaining on loan with the Northern Premier League Division One West Side for the rest of last season, scoring 13 goals in 35 appearances in total.

Manager Simon Haworth was very happy to have added to his sides forward line, he said: "I'm thrilled to have signed Lewis, we have been a little disappointing in attack during pre-season so far.

"We really like what we see in Lewis, he is well thought of at Altrincham and also at Trafford.

"He has got good pace and has a hunger to do well. He can score goals and I am extremely excited to start working with him."

The club would like to thank Altrincham for allowing Lewis to join us on loan.

Reaction from Lewis will follow in the coming days.
