Benjamin Siegrist is a Swiss goalkeeper from Therwil, born on 31 January 1992 (age 34). A commanding 6ft 5in (1.96m), he came through a career path that took him through English football, including a brief spell at Cambridge United in 2013-14, before he found a more settled level in Scotland.
That came at Dundee United. Siegrist made 66 league appearances across two seasons there, and it remains the spell that gives his career its clearest shape. He was not just passing through Tannadice; he became an established goalkeeper there before Celtic moved for him in July 2022.
His Celtic spell was more limited in playing terms, but it came in a successful side. Siegrist won the Premiership, Scottish Cup and League Cup during the 2022-23 campaign, collecting the full domestic set while part of the squad. For a goalkeeper signed from Dundee United, it was a sharp change in scale, even if his own role was not the central one.
He left Celtic in July 2024 for Rapid Bucureşti, where he has continued his career as a senior goalkeeper. His story is a solid professional one: built through smaller moves, properly established at Dundee United, briefly decorated at Celtic, and then carried on abroad.
