Freedman commits to Celtic

Freedman, 18, initially joined the club from Halifax Town in September 2019, and went on to make 19 appearances in the curtailed season.

Manager Simon Haworth told the club’s official website: “I’ve got a tremendous amount of time for Harry.

“He’s a proper young man and a good young talented footballer.

“We’re looking forward to getting him back and we see him being an integral part of the team.

“We’re going to give him a real opportunity which I think he’ll take, everything he does is first class. He works hard, his attitude is brilliant and he’s a bright young man, I couldn’t wish for anything more from a young player.”

Freeman is the son of former Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Wolves striker Dougie.
