Francis Turley, born in Northern Ireland on 14 January 2006 (age 20), is a central midfielder who came through Celtic’s youth set-up before getting the bulk of his early senior exposure away from Glasgow.
Ayr United has shaped his career most clearly to this point. Across one season there, he made seven league appearances without scoring, modest enough in scale but still the main body of senior football on his record so far.
He is now listed with Celtic, wearing squad number 72, and made one league appearance in the 2024-25 season. His current market value is around £128,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Turley remains at an early stage: a Celtic-developed midfielder whose career has so far been defined less by his parent club than by a short, practical spell at Ayr United.
