Celtic academy product makes debut for Premier League club 14 months on from Parkhead exit

Armstrong Oko-Flex has made his debut for West Ham United, 14 months on from leaving Celtic for a shot at the English Premier League.

The Irish winger's contract expires at the London Stadium next year after he signed a two-year deal, although there is an option for a further 12 months. Two appearances were made for Celtic during his time in Glasgow, joining them in 2018 as a 16-year-old after time at another London club, Arsenal. Oko-Flex was intergrated into the Hoops academy and eventually turned out in green and white before heading back to England in June 2021.

His debut has come in a Europa Conference League play-off second leg victory over Danish side Viborg, coming on as a substitute for the final 10 minutes of play for Argentine playmaker Manuel Lanzini. Gianlucca Scamacca, Said Benhrahma and Tomas Soucek all netted to secure a 6-1 aggregate victory for David Moyes' men.
