The Scottish Daily Record has reported that U-20 United States Men’s National Team defender Manny Perez has signed a deal to join Celtic FC on January 1st. The 19-year-old right back had been on trial with the Bhoys and apparently did enough to impress manager Brendan Rogers.
Perez just completed his sophomore season with the N.C. State Wolfpack and guided the team to a 10-7-3 record, as well as a 2nd round NCAA tournament appearance. NC State was eliminated in the 2nd round by the eventual national champions Maryland Terrapins.
