Celtic Return for Broto? - Ipswich Town News

On trial keeper Javier Sanchez Broto says he is still keen to lengthen his stay with Scottish giants Celtic. The stopper, on the bench last night as the Blues beat Southend, says he has been trying to make contact with Martin O'Neill without success.

The 31-year-old Spaniard joined Celtic on a short-term basis in January from Livingston. His contract was up at the end of June and negotiations over a new deal broke down.

Broto says he has been attempting to call the Celtic boss: "I have tried to make contact with Martin O'Neill several times to ask what is happening but I haven't been able to speak with him.

"I would swim to Glasgow to speak with him."

"I cried in my bed every night. When I was on holiday in Spain I slept with both my mobiles next to my pillow. I kept hoping they would ring."

Broto is likely to make his first appearance in a Town shirt during the Blues pre-season tour of Scandinavia.
