Benjamin Arthur

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

Benjamin Arthur, born on 9 October 2005, is a 20-year-old English footballer who dons the role of a central defender for Celtic. Standing at a formidable height of 6ft 2in (1.88m) and carrying a solid weight of 12st 8lb (80kg), Arthur is a dominant presence on the pitch, and he injects confidence into the team with his number 43 jersey.

Arthur's football career initiated its upward trajectory in July 2022, when he was signed up by Peterborough United, a reputable outfit in England's League One.

Arthur, displaying great potential and tenacity, attracted the attention of Brentford, a Premier League squad in England. In August 2023, Arthur made the defining transfer from Peterborough United to Brentford for an undisclosed fee. The move marked a significant progression in his career as he stepped onto the stage of more high-profile football.

Arthur's journey then took a northern turn across the border. In February 2026, he was brought onboard by Celtic, a Premiership stalwart in Scotland, on a loan deal from Brentford. His addition to the squad at Celtic proved influential, with Arthur serving as a central cog in their defensive line under the illustrious Scottish Premiership spotlight.
