Born on the 14th of January 2006, Francis Turley, a strapping lad of 5ft 10in (1.8m) and 10st 7lb (67kg), originates from Northern Ireland. The 20-year-old is enrolled as a central midfielder for Ayr United, bearing the number 12 jersey with pride.
In the market, his current value hovers around the £127k mark, as per details provided by Transfermarkt.
His journey to professional football began back in September 2022 when he joined Celtic Football Club, a renowned club in Scotland's Premiership, as a trainee. This marked Turley’s humble entry into the world of professional football. However, his debut season in 2024 - 2025 was stormed with obstacles, as he managed to make a single first team appearance in league matches.
After his initial stint at Celtic, Turley was transferred to Ayr United, another Scottish football club competing in the Championship, in cahoots with a loan arrangement in February 2026. Despite the change in clubs, Turley was able to make seven first team appearances in the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season with Ayr United, signalling an improvement in his performance and growing potential as a valuable midfielder.
