Former Swiss international Jordan Lotomba has completed his transfer to Scottish Premiership powerhouse Celtic Glasgow, signing a contract through the end of the season. According to reports from regional outlets including Blick and Bluewin, the 27-year-old right-back makes the move to Glasgow after spending the last two seasons with Dutch club Feyenoord Rotterdam.
Contract Terms and Arrival in Glasgow
Celtic Glasgow confirmed the signing of the versatile defender on a short-term deal running until the conclusion of the campaign. According to club announcements cited by regional media, the agreement gives manager Martin O’Neill another experienced option in the backline.
Feyenoord Stint and Injury Disruptions
After transferring to Feyenoord Rotterdam from French club OGC Nice, the defender made 41 total appearances for the Dutch side. However, a major shin fracture suffered shortly after his arrival in Rotterdam derailed his momentum, preventing him from ever establishing a consistent, leading role in the squad.
Managerial Praise and Tactical Versatility
Upon securing the Swiss defender, Celtic manager Martin O’Neill highlighted Lotomba’s key attributes on the club’s official channels. O’Neill specifically pointed to the player’s technical quality and his polyvalence across the defensive line.
Domestic Pedigree and International Background
Before his stints in the Netherlands and France, Lotomba built a strong domestic resume in Switzerland. Hailing from the Vaud canton, he won three Swiss league titles with Young Boys Bern. On the international stage, the defender has earned eight caps for the Swiss national team, though his most recent appearance for his country came back in October 2023.
