Celtic have added further midfield reinforcements to their ranks with the signing of Aaron Mooy.
The Australia international - who worked under Ange Postecoglou with the national team - has put pen to paper on a two-year deal as he becomes the latest summer arrival at the Scottish champions. He joins Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota, who both turned successful loan stints at Tottenham and Benfica into full-time deals, Alexandro Bernabei and Benjamin Siegrist in arriving this window.
Mooy was a free agent after leaving Shanghai Port. The 31-year-old impressed at Huddersfield and Brighton prior to the Chinese Super League move and has been capped 53 times by his country. He is no stranger to Scottish football having had a stint at St Mirren in the past. The move to Parkhead could help the midfielder rubber stamp his place in Graham Arnold's squad for the World Cup finals later this year after a play-off shootout win over Peru.
