Joey Dawson is about to become the fourth Celtic player to head out to Austria on-loan this summer transfer window. It is being reported that the redheaded striker is now set to join up with his teammates at Admira Wacker. Celtic have a working relationship with the Austrian side as of lately, which could prove fruitful for our youth players’ development.
This comes after Ben McPherson, 19, Matthew Anderson, 19, and young goalkeeper, Tobi Oluwayemi, 20, get all set to head out to the Austrian second division side. It’s a move that will give all three the vital first-team exposure and minutes on the pitch against seasoned pros that is desperately required to take that leap forward into playing for the Hoops.
According to Austrian journalist, Stephen Blumenschein, 20-year-old Dawson is set to make it a quartet of young, talented up-and-comers from the Bhoys B-side to head for Wacker for the new campaign. Dawson of course played for Celtic in substitutes appearances and was most notably given a game a few years ago against St Johnstone when we had an injury crisis during Ange Postecoglou’s first year as Celtic manager. The youngster equipped himself well that Boxing Day at McDairmid Park, and will no doubt feel he wants another crack at that first-team soon.
Blumenstein said via Twitter:
“The 4th player to come from #Celtic to #Admira is said to be England striker Joey Dawson.”
Beim 4. Spieler, der von #Celtic zur #Admira kommen soll, soll es sich um den englischen Stürmer Joey Dawson handeln. #inundaut #ligazwa
