Cameron Carter-Vickers, a strapping defender standing at 6ft (1.84m) and tipping the scales at 14st 6lb (92kg), was brought into the world on the last day of 1997. Born in England, he would end up representing the United States on the international stage. At club level, Carter-Vickers currently anchors the Celtic defense, where he wears the number 20 jersey. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is estimated at around £11m.
Carter-Vickers's journey to Celtic Park was dotted with numerous moves. His professional career took flight in July 2009, when he joined Tottenham Hotspur as a trainee. He would spend years at Tottenham, where his development included various loan stints to Championship sides. In August 2017, Sheffield United acquired his services for a season, during which he made 17 first team appearances and scored one league goal. His next stop, in January 2018, was Ipswich Town, where he once again displayed his mettle in 17 league appearances.
The 2018/19 season saw Carter-Vickers in Swansea City colours, where he made 30 league appearances. A year later, he spent a half-season at Stoke City, where his 12 league appearances hinted at his unwavering graft in defending. His last loan move was to Luton Town, joining in January 2020, where he contributed in 16 league fixtures.
The 2020/21 season saw Carter-Vickers sign for Bournemouth, initially on loan, where he notched one goal in 21 league appearances. But his ship would ultimately set sail for Celtic, and in August 2021, he made the move north of the border. The transfer fee from Tottenham was close to £6m, officially sealing the deal in July 2022.
Over several seasons at Celtic, Carter-Vickers proved himself an indispensable part of the defence. In the 2021/22 season, he established himself with 33 first team appearances and four league goals. He remained consistent in the season that followed, making 29 league appearances. His diligent displays continued in the 2023/24 season, tallying 25 league appearances and one goal. He repeated his scoring feat in the 2024/25 season, adding another 30 appearances to his tally. To date, in this current season, he has already made seven first team appearances.
In addition to his league responsibilities, Carter-Vickers saw action in the illustrious Champions League 2023/24 campaign for Celtic, the League Cup 2025/26, the Champions League Qualifiers 2025/26, and the Europa League 2025/26.
