Article body
Four-year contract
José Ignacio signed a four-year contract after agreeing personal terms with the Balaídos club. The 28-year-old said that the opportunity of working again with the Celta coach Miguel Angel Lotina "had been an important but not the main factor" in his decision to move to Galicia. José Ignacio had played under Lotina at his first club, CD Logroñés.
'A big challenge'
Celta finished fifth in the Spanish first division last term to qualify for the UEFA Cup, and José Ignacio, who spent five seasons with Zaragoza, added: "Playing for Celta is a big enough challenge in itself. I hope things go well and that I can help the club win some silverware."
