Born on the 9th of October, 2005, Benjamin Arthur is an English-born, hard-nosed centre-half currently plugging the gaps for Celtic Football Club. His towering structure, standing at 6ft 2in (1.88m), complements his solid playing style and contributes to his physical presence on the pitch. He weighs in at a substantial but lean 12st 8lb (80kg) and proudly wears the number 43 jersey.
According to the trusted resource, Transfermarkt, as of the time of writing, Arthur's current market value is in the region of £90k. Evolution in his form and potential growth could see this number rise in the near future.
Arthur's football journey has seen him play on various stages, from the lower leagues of English football to the pinnacle of the Scottish game. Starting his senior career in July 2022, he joined Peterborough United in England's League One, gaining valuable experience as a young defender. Just over a year later, his abilities caught the eye of officials at Brentford, which led to a transfer to the Premier League team in England. Sophistication and maturity became an integral part of his game during this phase, paving the way for his move to the Scottish Premiership, with Celtic, on loan in February 2026.
During the 2025-2026 season, Arthur was integrated into the Celtic backline and had the honour of participating in the illustrious Scottish Cup. The number of appearances remains low, with one start to his name, but Celtic fans are optimistic about the contribution he will make in the team's defence going forward.
