Defender Auston Trusty, born on the 12th of August 1998, currently graces the pitch for Celtic, primarily playing as central defender. Born in the United States, the young talent stands tall at 6ft 3in (1.91m) and maintains a sporting weight of 12st 1lb (77kg). Donning the number 6 jersey, Trusty has not just caught attention in Scottish Premier League but also represented the United States national football team.
As a considerable presence in the centre of defence, Auston Trusty's current market value is suggested to be around £4.5m according to reputable football resource, Transfermarkt.
Trusty's career trajectory is certainly noteworthy. In January 2016, Trusty joined Philadelphia Union as a trainee. Four years later, he made a splash by scoring a goal in each of the 2018 and 2019 seasons, while totalling 56 first-team appearances.
Our lad then moved onto Colorado Rapids, another MLS team, in November 2019 for an undisclosed fee. Over his stay at Colorado from 2019 to 2021, Trusty made a considerable number of appearances scored one league goal.
In January 2022, Trusty completed a thrilling move across the Atlantic to join Premier League side, Arsenal for a transfer fee of £1.6m, only to return to Colorado Rapids on loan shortly after. His performance on loan mirrored his demonstrated talent with a consequential number of league appearances.
July of the same year saw Trusty embarking a new journey with Birmingham City in the English Championship on loan, where he caused a stir by scoring a rewarding total of four goals and 44 appearances over the 2022 - 2023 season.
Auston was then transferred to Sheffield United for a reported sum of £5m in August 2023. He made a total of 33 first-team appearances for the Blades across two seasons.
But it was in August 2024 that Trusty's journey took a decisive turn for the Celtic family. He was transferred from Sheffield United to Celtic, and for a handsome sum of £6m. Since his ingress into the Celtic camp, Trusty has been a near-constant presence on the pitch, featuring in several matches in the Scottish Premiership. He particularly shone in the 2024-2025 season, with 22 first-team appearances and a goal.
In addition to his league play, Trusty was active in domestic and international cup campaigns for Celtic, making considerable contributions in the League Cup, Scottish Cup and Europa League. His Celtic career has been, up until now, a true testament to his consistent form and dedication to the game.
