Ex-Bolton youth Fojut hoping to follow in footsteps of Celtic great Boruc

Celtic signing Jaroslaw Fojut is hoping he can achieve similar success at the club as his fellow countryman Artur Boruc did.

The 24-year old Polish defender has signed a pre-contract agreement with the Hoops from Slask Wroclaw and is likely to join in the summer but he could still begin his three-year contract this month as the Glasgow giants try to work out a deal.

Whatever the outcome, Fojut is excited about his chance at Parkhead and is looking to follow in the footsteps of former keeper Boruc, now at Fiorentina, who won two Scottish Premier League titles, a Scottish Cup and a League Cup in five seasons with the club.

"I'm extremely happy to sign a contract with Celtic," he told SunSport.

"It is one of the biggest clubs in Europe and a team which is known by every football fan.

"To play at Celtic Park, where the supporters are amazing, will be a dream come true.

"It was also important that Celtic are fighting for the championship and will probably play in the Champions League.

"It is a great way to develop my skills and show what I'm capable of.

"Many Polish players have played for Celtic in the past with success, like Artur Boruc. I want to follow in his steps. To be a rock in the defence and to do everything to bring silverware to this club."
