Celtic defender Osaze Urhoghide has completed a loan move to KV Oostende.

The 21-year old has moved to the Belgian side until the end of the season, with the club holding the option to buy him in the summer.

Urhoghide moved to Parkhead from Sheffield Wednesday in the summer along with teammate Liam Shaw.

His only appearance came in last month's 3-2 Europa League win at home to Real Betis.

After making the move, Urhoghide said : “I'm a defender who doesn't shy away from duels, I like hard defence and I always give 100% for the colours of my club.

"At an absolute top club like Celtic, it is no easy task to become a regular player as a young player.

"I learned a lot every week during training, but now it was time for me to also make effective playing minutes.

!That is also the reason why I chose KVO. This club has a philosophy to give young players opportunities and make them better and that sounds like music to my ears.

"I hope to be able to play my first minutes here soon.”
