Born on August 12, 1998, six foot three defender Auston Trusty hails from the United States and currently plays in the central defender role for Celtic Football Club. A sturdy figure on the pitch, Trusty weighs in at 77kg (12st 1lb) and can be seen sporting the number 6 jersey. He has also represented his home country on an international level.

As of now, Trusty's market value sits around €7.50m (about £6.5m GBP), as noted by Transfermarkt. His contract with Celtic will run until June 2029, which means the club can enjoy his services for another four years and two months, at least.

Trusty's football journey started off in the United States, when he joined Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union as a trainee in January 2016. He made a respectable 34 first team appearances in his debut season (2018), netting one goal. The following year, he was trusted with 22 appearances, scoring another goal for his team.

In November of 2019, Trusty transferred within the Major League Soccer from Philadelphia to Colorado Rapids. While the details of the transfer remain undisclosed, Trusty made quite an impact at his new club, playing 57 matches and scoring once over three years.

A move across the Atlantic was next for Trusty, with Arsenal FC securing his services for a fee of around £1.6m in January 2022. Though, Trusty was briefly loaned back to Colorado Rapids in the following month. Later, in July, he was loaned to League One's Birmingham City, scoring four goals over 44 appearances in the 2022/23 season.

Trusty's next move, in August 2023, was to Championship club Sheffield United. Purchased for around £5m, Trusty played 33 matches for the Blades before moving north of the border.

Trusty's journey led him to Scottish Premiership's Celtic in August 2024. The hefty £6m purchase from Sheffield United saw Trusty making 22 appearances in the current 2024/25 season and he scored one goal. Additionally, he has been a constant presence in the League Cup, Scottish Cup, and the Champions League, promising a significant contribution to Celtic’s future success.
