Celtic youngster Kieran Tierney has “hope” that he can play for the Scottish champions for the rest of his footballing career and insists that he is “very happy” at the club under the management of Brendan Rodgers, according to a report from Herald Scotland.
The 20-year-old left-back signed a new and improved long-term contract last week which lasts until the summer of 2023 but he has still been linked with a move to top European clubs after some impressive performances.
The full-back is already valued at a price of about £20m but he has not even considered leaving the club.
He said:
I have been here 13 years already and that is a long time. I hope I can stay here as long as I can, and keep playing. I am in no rush to leave. I think everybody can see that from me signing a long-term deal. I wish it was longer. It is football, you never know where a career is going to take you but I am very happy at Celtic.
The loyalty of Tierney to Celtic is very rare to see in a young player in this modern era but Rodgers will be pleased with the commitment that he has made.
Tierney had three and a half years remaining on his old contract but still went on to sign a six year deal last week, which shows how highly Rodgers rates him and how happy he is at the club.
