Kwon Hyeok-Kyu has left Celtic to sign for French side Nantes.

The midfielder leaves the Hoops having never played a competitive game for the club during his two years at Parkhead.

The 24-year-old arrived at Celtic from Busan IPark in the summer of 2023 and spent most of his time out on loan to other Scottish clubs.

He played nine times for St Mirren in the 2023/24 campaign before making 21 appearances on loan at Hibernian last season.

The South Korea under-23 international has now made the switch to Ligue 1.

He follows the likes of Greg Taylor, Luis Palma, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Nicolas Kuhn, and Maik Nawrocki out of the Parkhead exit door this summer.
