Celtic confirm addition of Stokes

by setanta.com staff , 31 August 2010

Celtic have confirmed that they have completed the signing of Republic of Ireland international striker Anthony Stokes.


The 22-year-old has joined the Bhoys on a four-year deal from Hibernian after weeks of speculation and will make his debut when the SPL resumes after the international break.

Stokes was previously linked with the Bhoys in 2007 when he joined Sunderland from Arsenal in 2007 after a goal-laden spell on loan in Scotland with Falkirk.

After a tough time at the Stadium of Light, he joined Hibernian in August 2009 and scored 23 goal for the club last season, as well as one this term.

However, he has now joined the Bhoys where he is the 11th new face in through the door since the end of last season.
