Neil Lennon hopeful Joe Ledley will sign new Celtic contract

Celtic manager Neil Lennon confirms that Joe Ledley has been offered a new contract at Parkhead and suggests that the Welsh midfielder is likely to sign it.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has confirmed that midfielder Joe Ledley has been offered a new contract at Parkhead.

The Wales international's current deal is due to expire in June 2014, but Lennon is hopeful that the 26-year-old will commit his future to the Scottish champions later this month.

"We have made him an offer, Joe is aware of that, as is his agent, and we are waiting on them," Lennon told reporters.

"He seems happy here, his performance last week will have done his confidence a world of good because he has been a wee bit curtailed this season by injuries.

"We know how good a players he is, that's why we have offered him a new deal. My gut feeling is, looking at his body language over the last week or so, I'd like to think he would stay on."

Ledley, who has been capped 49 times at senior international level, has scored 18 goals in 95 league appearances for Celtic since joining the Hoops in July 2010.
