Simpson-Pusey agrees season-long loan with Celtic | OneFootball

Jahmai Simpson-Pusey has joined Celtic on a season-long loan, subject to international clearance.

The centre-back’s first campaign away from City since joining the Club’s Academy at Under-9s level will be spent in Glasgow with the reigning Scottish Premiership champions.

The 19-year-old made his senior debut for Pep Guardiola’s side in 2024/25, featuring as a second-half substitute in City’s 2-1 Carabao Cup defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.

Simpson-Pusey went on to make a further five appearances for the first team, including his bows in the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League, whilst also captaining our Premier League 2 squad to league phase and play-off victory.

He was then named the Premier League 2 Player of the Season after a starring role in City’s nine clean sheets en route to two trophy lifts. That made him the first defender to receive the award.

Technical and commanding, Simpson-Pusey also led City’s Under-18s out at the Etihad Stadium when we beat Leeds United 4-0 in our FA Youth Cup final triumph in 2023/24.

Now, he will be looking to gain regular first-team experience with Celtic throughout 2025/26.

Everyone at Manchester City would like to wish Jahmai the very best of luck this season.
