Football: Celtic sign forward Yamada from Kawasaki on 4-year deal
LONDON (Kyodo) -- Japanese forward Shin Yamada has transferred from Kawasaki Frontale in the J-League first division to Scottish champions Celtic on a four-year deal, the clubs announced Saturday. The 25-year-old came through the Kawasaki youth ranks and debuted professionally for the club in 2023 after playing university football. He was the equal most-prolific scorer among domestic players in the J1 last season, with 19 goals. He joins Celtic's Japanese contingent of Daizen Maeda, Reo Hatate and new arrival Hayato Inamura, who also moved to the Scottish champions this summer from fellow J1 outfit Albirex Niigata. "It is a huge honor for me to be here as a Celtic player and I can't wait to begin my time at this amazing club," Yamada said in a statement on the Celtic website. "Celtic is one of the top names in world football. I have already watched my countrymen like Daizen, Reo and Kyogo (Furuhashi) do so well at Celtic and I will aim to have the same impact." Yamada made his Japan debut this month at the East Asian Football Federation E-1 Championship in South Korea.
