Celtic’s Head of Scouting Operations has agreed a move to English Championship side Swansea.
Hired from Arsenal by former Head of Football Operations Nick Hammond, Jay Lefevre has been overseeing the Parkhead scouting system since December 2019.
Responsible for producing reports on transfer targets and overseeing the pool of scouts, the Englishman worked under managers Neil Lennon, Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers.
Rodgers recently left the club after public criticism of the transfer strategy in recent windows.
And Lefevre is the latest to depart after Chief Executive Michael Nicholson acknowledged the failings of the summer transfer window and promised a review of how the club go about their business.

Rodgers aired frustration over transfer strategy while supporters were also been heavily critical of the club’s approach to the market after they failed to strengthen key attacking positions before the Champions League exit to Kairat Almaty.
In the club’s recent financial statement Nicholson said: "This year, regretfully we did not achieve all of our objectives in the transfer window.
"We share and understand our supporters’ disappointment and frustration, and we will continue to seek to review and improve our strategy and execution as the market continues to evolve."
Lefevre's move to Swansea comes amid reports that the club are about to sack manager Alan Sheehan.
