# Celtic: Fans react to Tobi Oluwayemi extension

**Celtic youngster Tobi Oluwayemi has signed a [two-year contract extension](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/june/Hoops-stopper-Tobi-Oluwayemi-signs-new-deal-with-Celtic/) at Parkhead.**

The news, which was [confirmed](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/june/Hoops-stopper-Tobi-Oluwayemi-signs-new-deal-with-Celtic/) on Friday, led to a number of Celtic fans giving their thoughts on social media.

Oluwayemi, [formerly of Tottenham, joined the Hoops in 2019](https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/celtic/former-tottenham-hotspur-youth-signs-new-contract-with-celtic-3277979). The 18-year-old goalkeeper is [yet to make a senior appearance for the Hoops](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tobi-oluwayemi/leistungsdaten/spieler/609881) but has been capped by [England at Under-18 level](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tobi-oluwayemi/leistungsdaten/spieler/609881).

He’s been turning out for [Celtic’s reserve side](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/june/Hoops-stopper-Tobi-Oluwayemi-signs-new-deal-with-Celtic/), and the Hoops have clearly liked what they’ve seen from the teenager, who will now stay at the club until [2024](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/june/Hoops-stopper-Tobi-Oluwayemi-signs-new-deal-with-Celtic/).

Celtic Colts will play in the Lowland League in the upcoming campaign, which will give Oluwayemi and his teammates the chance to play [competitive senior football](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/june/Hoops-stopper-Tobi-Oluwayemi-signs-new-deal-with-Celtic/).
