Saidy Janko (born 22 October 1995) is a Swiss footballer who plays for Celtic. Although he is primarily recognised as a right-back, he is equally capable of playing on the right wing. Born in Zürich to a Gambian father and a Swiss/Italian mother, Janko began his career with FC Zürich before signing for Manchester United in 2013.[3] After a loan spell with Bolton Wanderers, Janko moved to Scottish club Celtic in 2015. He has played international football for Switzerland up to under-21 level.

Club career

Manchester United

Janko joined Manchester United from FC Zürich on summer transfer deadline day in 2013.[4] He was one of only three signings made by David Moyes during the 2013 summer transfer window. In his first season, he was voted the Reserve Player of the Year.[5] On 26 August 2014, he made his first-team debut in a League Cup match against Milton Keynes Dons, playing the first half before being substituted for fellow debutant Andreas Pereira as United lost 4–0.[6]

Bolton Wanderers (loan)

On 2 February 2015, transfer deadline day, Janko joined Championship club Bolton Wanderers on loan for the rest of the season, with Andy Kellett going in the opposite direction for the same period.[7] He made his debut for the club on 10 February, starting in a 3–1 league win over Fulham at the Macron Stadium. He crossed to assist Eiður Guðjohnsen's equaliser before half time, before scoring himself in the 80th minute from 25 yards out.[8]

Celtic

On 1 July 2015, Celtic announced that they had signed Janko on a four-year contract.[9] He made his debut nine days later, coming on as a substitute for Gary Mackay-Steven 75 minutes into Celtic's 1–0 win over Real Sociedad in a pre-season friendly at St. Mirren Park.[10] Janko made his competitive debut on 1 August, coming on as a second-half substitute during Celtic's 2–0 win over Ross County in the opening league match of the Scottish Premiership season.[11][12]
