Francis Turley was born on 14 January 2006 in Northern Ireland. Now aged 20, Turley is a midfield football player, best known for his central positioning on the pitch for Ayr United. Standing at a sturdy 5ft 10in (1.8m), he weighs approximately 10st 7lb (67kg), and is instantly recognisable in the number 12 jersey.
According to Transfermarkt, Turley's current market value is estimated to be around £130,000. No small sum, indeed.
In September of the year 2022, Turley put pen to paper, signing a deal with Celtic Football Club, then part of the Scottish Premiership. He kick-started his tenure as a trainee, undeterred and eager to prove his worth.
Turley's first encounter on Celtic's first team took place in the 2024-2025 season. His debut was noteworthy, yet it ended as his only league appearance in the green and white hoops for that season. A defiant initiation for the young midfielder.
It was in February 2026 that a memorable opportunity arose. Celtic orchestrated a loan deal, shifting Turley's services to Ayr United, a competing team in the Scottish Championship. He seized the opportunity readily, with open arms.
In the ongoing 2025-2026 season at Ayr United, Turley has graced the pitch on three occasions, marking his presence in league matches. Critically speaking, Turley's progression is quite evident, indicating a trend that can only be expected to keep rising with his resilience and dedication.
