Ben Wylie, born on 29 June 2002 (age 24), is a Northern Irish central midfielder with Coleraine. His early route carried a Celtic connection: he joined Celtic from Ballymena United in July 2021, before leaving in August 2023 for Ytterhogdals.
That move began the stretch in which his senior career started to take shape away from Glasgow. After Ytterhogdals, he had spells with Cliftonville and Coleraine, but it was at Portadown that he found his most settled football.
Portadown has been the strongest thread in Wylie’s career so far. Across two seasons there, he made 53 league appearances and scored five league goals. His most productive league campaign came in 2025-26, when he scored three times in 21 appearances.
He is now back with Coleraine, where in 2026-27 he has made six league appearances and two in Conference League qualifying, with one goal across eight matches in all competitions. His career to date has moved from Ballymena to Celtic, then through Sweden and back into the Irish game, with Portadown the spell that has given it most substance.
