Hatate has signed up for the long run as he committed to Parkhead until 2028.
The midfielder had been the subject of reportedly lengthy contract talks with Brendan Rodgers' men but has now extended his terms in Glasgow for a further five years. It will be music to the ears of Hoops fans who saw Liel Abada follow suit with a new deal until 2027 last month. Now Hatate will be part of the champions' squad for the foreseeable future, after a summer of transfer talk affected the former Kawasaki Frontale man.
“We have a lot of challenges ahead of us this season and beyond, both in Scotland and in the Champions League, and we are all ready as a team to tackle these together. We will give everything we have to bring our fans more good times. I have had the best welcome ever since I joined the club and I want to thank all our fans for the great support they continue to give to us all.”
"Reo has already shown us what a talent he is, making a great contribution to the team since he has joined Celtic.' He is a huge talent, an exciting young player with great attributes and someone who can change a game.
