Cameron Carter-Vickers, born on the 31st of December 1997, is a staunch defender who has contributed significantly to the Celtic Football Club from his central defence position. His imposing 6ft frame (1.84m) and weight of 14st 6lb (92kg) have been an asset to the club. He bears the number 20 jersey with much pride and has also represented the United States at the international level.
Recognised for his contribution to the game, his current market value lies around £11m, as per Transfermarkt.
Before his time at Celtic, Carter-Vickers has had quite the circuitous route in English football. In July 2009, he started his journey with Tottenham Hotspur as a trainee. This was followed by various loan spells, including stints at Sheffield United in August 2017, Ipswich Town in January 2018, Swansea City in August 2018, Stoke City in August 2019, Luton Town in January 2020, and Bournemouth in October 2020 where he made a combined total of 103 league appearances.
In a monumental moment for both the player and Celtic, Carter-Vickers transferred on loan from Tottenham Hotspur to Celtic in August 2021. During his loan spell, in the 2021-2022 season, Carter-Vickers made a remarkable 33 first team appearances and netted four goals in league matches for Celtic. His impact on the pitch and immediate affinity with the fans prompted the Club to make the move permanent.
In July 2022, Celtic acquired Carter-Vickers from Tottenham Hotspur officially for a fee rounded to £6m. His time at Celtic has been nothing short of illustrious. Over the course of four seasons, he has made a significant number of appearances, scoring a total of six goals in league matches. In the current 2025-2026 season, Carter-Vickers has already clocked up seven first team league appearances for Celtic.
Apart from his league play, he has also represented Celtic in various cup competitions, including the League Cup 2025-2026 with one start, the Champions League Qualifiers 2025-2026 with two starts, and the Europa League 2025-2026 with three starts. His contribution to the Club and the impact he has made on and off the pitch will keep him in the supporters' minds for years to come.
