Celtic have announced that James Forrest has signed a one-year contract extension, committing his future to the club until the summer of 2026.

The new deal is a testament to the wingerโ€™s enduring contribution to the Hoops, further solidifying his legacy as one of the clubโ€™s all-time greats.

Since making his first-team debut in 2010, Forrest has been a cornerstone of Celticโ€™s success. The 32-year-old has amassed over 500 appearances, scored more than 100 goals, and contributed over 100 assists. His efforts have played a key role in securing an incredible 24 trophies, making him the second most decorated player in the clubโ€™s history.

Forrestโ€™s loyalty and dedication were recognised last season with a testimonial match, a rare honour that reflects his exceptional service to the club. With this extension, Forrest is now poised to finish his career at Celtic, a fitting conclusion for a player who has given so much to the green and white jersey.

The contract extension is a reward not only for Forrestโ€™s consistency on the pitch but also for his leadership and experience within the squad. As Celtic continue to chase domestic and European success, Forrestโ€™s presence remains invaluable both on and off the field.

Seeing a one-club man like Forrest commit his entire career to Celtic is a rarity in modern football, and his story will serve as an inspiration for generations to come.

  1. Jesus wept, if this is what we are about giving past it players new contracts any young player must be wanting away if they canโ€™t get in the squad in front of him. To me itโ€™s one of the worst signings this season.
