Celtic midfielder Ewan Henderson has put pen-to-paper on a three-and-a-half-year contract extension, as confirmed on the club’s official website.
The youngster’s previous deal was set to expire in the summer but Celtic wanted to tie him down to a long-term deal and the teenager was happy to commit his future to the Scottish champions.
Henderson made his senior debut in May 2018 against Kilmarnock in what was a dead rubber and he made a cameo appearance in the league game against St Mirren just a few days ago.
Speaking to Celtic View about his run-out against St Mirren and his immediate future, Henderson said:
It was great to feature in the matchday squad again against St Mirren. I didn’t know if I’d get on, and it was very much a case of just taking it as it comes and seizing my opportunity if it came along. I was hoping to get the chance, I got the chance, and it was really good. It was a really good night all-in.
At this stage, I’m just taking everything day-by-day. I’ll continue to work hard, and I’ll try my best to get chances in the first team. If I can get them, then I’ll take them. All I want to do is try my best.
It’s really good, looking at players like Callum McGregor, James Forrest, Ryan Christie and Scott Sinclair. I look at how they play, and learn from them. They’ve done so much in their careers, they’ve played at the highest level, so it’s great to look at how they play and learn from what they do.
Looking at the players who’ve come through the Academy and are now in the first team, it’s really inspiring. They’ve all done incredibly well and they’re great role-models for every young boy that’s also come through the Academy to look up to. It’s really good that they’re there, and helps us keep focused.
It’s my job now to get the head down again, work hard and hopefully take more chances as they come.
