Celtic star wishes that he joined club sooner

Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata has admitted that he wished that he joined the club sooner.

As a youngster, Boyata was highly rated but never really managed to get his career on track.

He spent six-years with Premier League giants Manchester City between 2009-2015 but during that time, he only went on to make 13 League appearances for the Cityzens.

During his time with the Cityzens, the Belgium international was sent on two loan spells in order to gain more experience, with Bolton Wanderers and FC Twente respectively but both were unsuccessful.

He moved to Celtic in 2015 and his career has flourished ever since.
