Benjamin Arthur

Benjamin Arthur of Celtic was born on 9 October 2005 (age 20).

Benjamin Arthur is an English central defender, born on 9 October 2005 (age 20). He came through at Brentford before joining Celtic in February 2026, a move that put him into a squad where patience, rather than noise, was always likely to be part of the deal.

His early Celtic involvement has been limited but tangible. In the 2025-2026 season, Arthur has made four league appearances and two in the Scottish Cup, giving him six first-team outings in total for the club, without a goal.

His current market value is around £85,000, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, his career is still taking shape: Brentford development, a move to Celtic, and a small first-team footprint so far.

Benjamin Arthur has had a limited first-team role for Celtic in the 2025-2026 Premiership, with four appearances, three starts and no goals. The start-to-substitute split suggests he has been used as more than a token squad option, but the overall volume is still modest for a central defender. Two Scottish Cup appearances add some depth to his season, while the lack of bookings points to a clean disciplinary record so far.

Arthur's rating profile is steady rather than standout. His season average of 6.88, with a high of 7.47 and a low of 6.32, points to broadly reliable performances with some variance but no obvious collapse. For a young central defender with limited minutes, that is a useful baseline rather than a decisive case for a larger role.

The transfer record shows a developmental centre-back rather than an established senior asset. Peterborough picked him up with no fee listed in 2022, Brentford paid an undisclosed fee in 2023, and Celtic brought him in on loan from Brentford on 2026-02-02. The pattern is one of gradual progression, with the Celtic move giving him exposure without the club committing to a permanent fee.
