Joe Ledley won three Premiership titles at Celtic.

Back in July, some Celtic fans tweeted Joe Ledley and told him to re-sign for the Parkhead club.

The Wales international notched over 150 appearances for the Bhoys in a four-your stint in Glasgow.

Since leaving Celtic in 2014, the 32-year-old established himself as a decent Premier League player at Crystal Palace, before joining Derby County in the Championship in 2017.

But five years on from leaving the Hoops, Ledley is without a club and has been for most of this year.

In January of this year, his contract at Derby was terminated by mutual consent and it’s strange that the former Celtic star – who is training with Cardiff City – still hasn’t found a new employer.

Fans of the Scottish giants told him on Twitter that he was welcome to return this past summer, but he wouldn’t get a game under Neil Lennon, his former manager, now.

Lennon has an abundance of quality midfield options, from the evergreen Scott Brown to Olivier Ntcham, and Ledley, despite his experience, probably wouldn’t get a look-in.

According to The Scottish Sun, Newport County is an option, but they’re a League Two side and that seems a major step down for someone with Champions League and European Championship experience.
