# Celtic: Fans excited as Dylan Corr signs first professional contract

**A lot of Celtic fans are excited to see that the club are looking towards the future as young player Dylan Corr has announced on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Dylancorr1/status/1257033033464590336?s=20) that he has signed his first professional contract with the Scottish side.**

The surname of the new youth prospect might ring a bell with the Hoops faithful as Dylan is the sun of former Scottish footballer Barry John Corr, who only featured once for the Celts (as per [Soccerbase](https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=16009)). Similar to his son, Barry started in the youth academy at the club, but after failing to establish himself at Parhead, he went to fellow Scottish side Motherwell (as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/barry-john-corr/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/12655)).

However, the Corr family will hope Dylan can have a more successful career at the club, and there is a great range of young talent at the Celts right now who he can seek to emulate. Seventeen-year-old right winger Karamoko Dembele has already made [three senior appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/karamoko-dembele/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/466602/verein/371) for the club, including [one in the Europa League](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/karamoko-dembele/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/466602/verein/371).

It looks like Celtic fans are getting a glimpse of their future earlier than expected and Corr will hope he can follow in Dembele’s footsteps.

Here is what some Hoops fans had to say following the youngster’s announcement:
