FORMER CELTIC goalkeeper Leo Fasan yesterday signed for Falkirk in a one year contract.
The 24-year old Italian keeper began his career as a product of the Udinese Academy, before joining Celtic FC in 2010 and signing a three-year contract in 2014.
Fasan spent time on loan with English League One sides Port Vale and Bury where he made 31 appearances before joining Kilmarnock in January 2018 on a short term deal.
Speaking to the Falkirk FC website the Bairns boss and former Celtic star, Paul Hartley, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have Leo signed up for next season.
“He comes to us highly recommended and with an excellent pedigree and background including experience in League One in England and the Scottish Premiership. We feel he can greatly enhance our squad and I am sure he will continue to progress and develop with regular game time in the coming year.
“We now have three very good goalkeepers on our books, that is only a positive as we look for competition for places right across the squad.
“We are continuing to work hard on the recruitment of players and we hope to have further announcements made before the end of this week.”
Meanwhile the latest podcast from the Football Blogging Awards Podcast of the Year for 2018 – The Celtic Star Podcast is out now. Paul John Dykes is joined by Jackie’s best mate, a player who won every domestic honour for Celtic in the 1990s – Simon Donnelly.
