Maik Nawrocki

Maik Nawrocki has become the latest addition to Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic squad after the defender today joined the club on a five-year deal from Legia Warsaw, subject to international clearance.

The 22-year-old Polish Under-21 internationalist helped Legia Warsaw win the Polish Cup last season, scoring the final spot-kick in a 6-5 penalty shoot-out victory over Rakow Czestochowa.

A former team-mate of Josip Juranovic, he played briefly alongside the Croatian defender for Legia Warsaw before Juranovic moved to Celtic back in August 2021.

Maik Nawrocki was born in Bremen, Germany, and came through the Werder Bremen youth system. It was while at the club that he spent a season on loan at Legia Warsaw before making the move a permanent one last year.
