Milllwall have signed Celtic midfielder Daniel Kelly for an undisclosed fee.

The 18-year-old Scot made six first-team appearances last season for Celtic. Millwall say he has signed a long-term contract at The Den.

"Daniel is a player that has been on the club’s radar for some time and highlighted to me upon my arrival," said Steve Gallen, the Lions' director of football.

"He’s exactly the type of profile we want to bring in. He’s a young box-to-box midfielder, athletic, dynamic and I feel he has a bright future and can add real quality to the squad."

The signing was not registered soon enough for Kelly to be a part of the squad for this weekend's game against Hull.
