West Bromwich Albion has secured the loan signing of winger Mikey Johnston from Celtic adding depth to their squad for the remainder of the season. The 24 years old Republic of Ireland international expressed his eagerness to contribute immediately upon joining the club.

Manager Carlos Corberan played a pivotal role in convincing Johnston to make the move emphasizing his vision for the team and the style of play. Johnston’s arrival fulfills Corberan’s desire to bolster the wide positions following the departure of Jeremy Sarmiento.

The winger seeks regular playing time after a loan spell at Vitoria SC in Portugal last season having made limited appearances for Celtic this term.
