He said: “I am ready and very happy because I have now fulfilled my dream of playing overseas.

“I’m going to achieve my lifetime ambition of signing for a huge team.

“My agent worked very hard to get me a move to a big European club and and I am very excited about it.

“I thank God I have been given this chance and I hope and pray I can be a success.

“I will not waste this opportunity.

“It will make me a better footballer and a more experienced one.

“Celtic are one of the biggest teams in Britain and they are known throughout the world and I know Efrain Juarez who plays here.

“I hope to make Hondurans proud of me so that one day, when I want to end my career, I can come back and play for Motagua.”
