Josh Dede: Celtic defender signs for Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough have brought in teenager Josh Dede from Celtic on a permanent deal.

The 19-year-old, who can play right-back or right winger, will initially join up with Boro’s under-21 squad.

He did not play for Celtic’s first-team, but featured in their age-group sides as well as playing for Scotland Under-19s.

Dede is the fifth arrival on Teesside this month following Ryan Giles, George Edmundson, Morgan Whittaker and Mark Travers.
