Celtic sign Tom Rogic from Central Coast Mariners
Australian midfielder Tom Rogic has completed a move to Celtic from Central Coast Mariners, with the fee reported to be about £400,000.
The 20-year-old has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract, with the deal subject to a work permit.
Celtic said "an application will be made to the appropriate authorities in the next couple of days".
Rogic had been on trial with Neil Lennon's side and attended their recent training camp in Marbella.
Speaking on Twitter, Lennon said: "Very pleased to have acquired Tom Rogic for the club... very talented young player."
Central Coast manager Lawrie McKinna previously described Rogic's training spell with Celtic as "a great opportunity".
"Celtic are preparing for Champions League matches against Juventus, so Tom will undoubtedly learn a lot," he added.

Some silly people on this thread don't realise how huge a club Celtic is, worldwide, the majority of Premiership teams aren't at our level.
Looking forward to seeing the big man play, hopefully hes the creative player we are looking for.

What? He's left Central Coast Mariners for Celtic? Are the Mariners mad - he was worth at least 20 times that and Celtic is the biggest club in Europe. The boy has done well
OTBC :-)

Lawrie McKinna isn't the manager of Central Coast Mariners, he's more like the technical director. Former Australian national team player and manager Graham Arnold is their manager.
