Yang Hyun-jun says "my future is here" after signing a new contract with Celtic that ties him to the club until 2030.

The eight-times capped South Korea winger, 23, joined from Gangwon FC in 2023 and has gone on to score 17 goals in 111 appearances.

He has won three Scottish Premiership titles, a League Cup and a Scottish Cup with Celtic, and could feature in Saturday's Scottish Cup final against Dunfermline Athletic.

"I love this club and my future is here," Yang told Celtic TV.

"I'm happy, and though the season was a little bit hard, we are champions and hopefully next season it will be easier.

"I also want to show better performances in the European games."

O'Neill 'pleased' Birmingham move fell through

Manager Martin O'Neill commented: "I'm absolutely delighted, because on transfer deadline day he was down at Birmingham City, so I'm pleased that didn't go through.

"Obviously, I didn't know him at that time, but there was something about him in training that you felt he's got a bit of something – he can go past players, he can deal with the ball, all those particular things.

"He maybe just needed a bit of confidence-boosting as much as anything else, but he's done wonderfully well.

"The reason that he has done well is that he's got big, big goals for us at big moments and he's brave as well. He takes the ball under pressure.

"He's super and he's worked his way back into the South Korean squad."
