The Hoops midfielder, 18, has committed to the Parkhead side until 2022.
Celtic have confirmed that academy graduate Ewan Henderson has signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract at Parkhead.
The 18-year-old midfielder, whose brother is former Hoops and current Hellas Verona player Liam Henderson, is now contracted to the reigning Scottish Premiership champions until 2022.
Henderson made his second appearance for Brendan Rodgers’ side in the 4-0 win over St Mirren last week, coming on as a substitute for Ryan Christie with 20 minutes to go and setting up Timothy Weah with a through-ball for the fourth goal of the night.
The run-out against St Mirren was his second senior appearance, having made his debut with a late substitute appearance against Kilmarnock in May last year, and was praised by Rodgers after the game on January 23.
According to The Scotsman, there had previously been some speculation suggesting that Henderson reportedly knocked back an offer last month, leaving him free to talk to interested clubs from this month onwards, but the new deal appears to have put that to bed.
Some Celtic fans took to Twitter to reply to the news and there seemed to be a mix of reaction, with those happy to see another youth player impress enough to get a long-term deal, and those who are still anxiously awaiting a new right-back:
