Ajax Cape Town have confirmed that defender Rivaldo Coetzee has agreed a deal to join to Scottish side Glasgow Celtic.

The 20-year-old went AWOL during the start of pre-season in the hopes of forcing a move away from the Urban Warriors.

However, Coetzee returned to training with the first team before the start of the 2017-18 Absa Premiership campaign and scored their opening goal in the PSL against Golden Arrows.

A deal has been agreed by the two sides over his permanent transfer, subject to the defender receiving a work permit and completing a medical.
