Kieran Tierney Returns to Celtic in Five-Year Deal

Written By Sneha Mukherjee

Glasgow, Scotland – June 10, 2025 – In a move that has sent ripples of excitement through the Celtic faithful, Kieran Tierney has officially completed his emotional return to Parkhead, signing a five-year deal that will keep him at the club until at least the summer of 2030. The announcement, made by Celtic Football Club today, confirms a widely anticipated homecoming for the 28-year-old left-back whose contract with Arsenal expired.

Tierney, a product of Celtic's youth academy, previously graced the Hoops' shirt for 170 appearances, etching his name into the club's history by winning 10 major trophies, including an impressive three consecutive domestic Trebles during his initial spell. This period of success, significantly overseen by current manager Brendan Rodgers, created a strong bond between player and club.

His departure in 2019 for a then-record-breaking transfer to Arsenal saw him embark on a six-year journey in North London. During his time with the Gunners, Tierney made 144 appearances across all competitions, adding an FA Cup and two Community Shields to his burgeoning list of accolades. He also experienced a loan spell in Spain with La Liga side Real Sociedad during the 2023-24 season, where he made 26 appearances.

Speaking to the club's official website following the official confirmation, a delighted Brendan Rodgers expressed his satisfaction at securing Tierney's return. "We are delighted to welcome Kieran back to Celtic," Rodgers stated. "He is such a talented, high-quality player, and he will be a massive addition to our squad."

Rodgers highlighted Tierney's deep connection to the club, underscoring the sentimental value of the transfer. "Kieran has always had Celtic in his blood, and he is excited to be coming back to the place he loves," he continued. "He is someone who has given so much to Celtic already, and I know he is so motivated and hungry to help the club bring more and more success to our fans."

The Celtic manager also touched upon the experience Tierney brings back to Glasgow. "We are so pleased to bring such an elite player back to the club, and I look forward to working with him again and the rest of the squad, as we face the many challenges ahead at home and in Europe." Rodgers had previously hinted at Tierney's pre-contract agreement in April, expressing his belief that Tierney's prime years were still ahead of him and that his experience in the challenging English Premier League would significantly benefit Celtic.

Tierney's return is a significant boost for Celtic as they prepare for the upcoming season, aiming to defend their domestic titles and make an impact in European competitions. His quality, leadership, and passion for the club are expected to be invaluable assets on and off the pitch.

I’m Sneha Mukherjee — and for the past three years, I’ve lived and breathed words. As an SEO Content Writer and Digital Marketing Specialist, I’ve helped SaaS, AI, tech, and eCommerce brands cut through the noise with search-optimised content that doesn’t just rank — it converts, builds trust, and tells a story. I’ve collaborated with global agencies, platforms like Wavel AI, and built this very website you’re on — in just four hours — to showcase the work I believe in.

But lately, I’ve found myself on the edge of something new.

I’m transitioning into bid writing — drawn by its blend of strategy, persuasion, and high-stakes storytelling. It’s a shift that feels both exciting and natural. After all, good bids, like good SEO copy, are about understanding your audience, showing impact, and crafting a clear, compelling narrative that wins.

Away from the keyboard, I’m also learning the art of photography. I’m not a pro — not yet — but I’m learning, lens by lens. I shoot with a Canon 4000D and four trusted lenses: the 18–55mm kit, a 75–300mm telephoto, a 10–18mm wide-angle, and a sharp little 24mm. I recently added a GoPro Hero 12 to my setup — perfect for Scotland’s wild weather and rugged backdrops.

I photograph wildlife and nightscapes — capturing the raw stillness of stags in the Highlands and the star-streaked skies over Glencoe. My camera is teaching me patience, detail, and how to tell a story without saying a word.

Right now, I’m open to full-time opportunities in content writing, brand storytelling, technical SEO, and bid writing — and I’m always up for creative collaborations across the UK and Europe.

If you’re looking for someone who can bring clarity to complexity — in words or through a lens — I’d love to connect.
