Moritz Jenz admits there were 'difficult' moments he faced in his loan spell at Celtic but had a 'clear desire' to change clubs.
The German defender was recruited by Ange Postecoglou last summer to bolster defensive options with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt holding down the fort. The loan swoop proved to be essential as the Swede's injury problems allowed Jenz to be at the forefront in key Champions League and league action in the first half of the season.
Yet the 23-year-old found game time hugely sparse since the World Cup break and last month sealed a move to Bundesliga strugglers Schalke with parent club Lorient fearing the Hoops wouldn't enact their purchase option. The towering centre-half delivered a heartfelt goodbye to fans after being branded 'Mercedes Jenz' and admits he loved than moniker.
