Northern Ireland winger Casey Howe has signed for Celtic after leaving Nottingham Forest.

The 23-year-old, who has 14 caps for her country, finished last season on loan to Wolverhampton Wanderers, helping them win promotion to Women's Super League 2.

Celtic head coach Grant Scott said: "Casey is an exciting young player who our fans will enjoy watching.

"She has played internationally for Northern Ireland and in WSL2 for two seasons, which showcases her experience at this early point in her career."

Before moving to Forest in 2024, Howe had played for Glentoran, Sligo Rovers and Athlone Town.

Saying it is "amazing" to be at Celtic with the aim of winning more silverware, she said: "It's in my DNA to win. I love winning. And I think off the back of the girls winning the cup, I want to come and win silverware here.

"That's a given for me. I've won silverware back in Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and in England. So I just want to win. I love winning.

"So it's definitely something that excites me to come in, hopefully win some more silver here."
