Ben Summers, Scottish by birth and a midfielder by trade, was born on the 16th of June 2004 in Scotland. Currently 20 years of age, he is presently plying his trade in the central attacking midfield role for Admira Wacker Modling, standing at an average height of 5ft 7in (1.71m), and an attuned weight of 9st 6lb (60kg).
Summers' journey with Celtic Football Club in the Scottish Premiership began in July 2019 when he joined as a trainee. His debut season of 2022-2023 bestowed him with the chance to make two appearances for the senior team in league matches. Despite the modest match time, Summers certainly looked promising wearing the Celtic colours, showing the raw potential that the scouts and management had noticed in him.
A career shift came about in August 2023 when Summers moved from Celtic to Dunfermline Athletic on loan. The Championship side was an unfamiliar territory for the young talent, yet Summers left an impression during the 2023-2024 season, making 20 league appearances and even found the back of the net twice. It was a challenging time for him, spent at the lower rungs of Scottish football, yet an invaluable experience nonetheless.
By June 2024, Summers completed his loan spell and returned to Celtic. He went on to adorn the Hoops shirt in his second stint, making two appearances in the 2022-2023 season. His journey with Celtic wasn't the fairy tale many might have expected, but his undoubted ability and potential shone through whenever he took the field. He was one of those players who never quite nailed down a regular spot, but when called upon, he delivered performances that echoed promise and potential.
In September 2024, in a move that surprised many, Summers moved from Celtic B in the Lowland League in Scotland to Admira Wacker Modling in the 2. Liga in Austria on loan. Despite the considerable shift from the comfort of his homeland to the unfamiliar terrain of Austria, he has managed to hold his own quite well in the current 2024-2025 season, making one appearance and scoring one goal. It remains to be seen what the future holds for this talented footballer.
