Benjamin Arthur

Benjamin Arthur of Brentford was born on 9 October 2005 (age 20).

Benjamin Arthur is an English central defender, born on 9 October 2005 (age 20), whose senior career has quickly become tied to Celtic. He came through at Brentford before moving to Glasgow in February 2026, a step that put him into a squad already carrying domestic expectations.

His Celtic involvement has been modest but meaningful: four league appearances in the 2025-2026 season, and a Premiership winner’s medal as part of that campaign. For a young defender, that is not a bad place to start, even if there is still a fair distance between being involved and being established.

Arthur remains part of the current Celtic squad, with his market value listed at around £85,000 by Transfermarkt. His career is still at an early stage, but its first clear shape has been formed at Celtic rather than Brentford.
