Auston Trusty was born on 12 August 1998 and, at the age of 26, stars as a leading central defender for Celtic FC. The American, standing at a commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m) and weighing 12st 1lb (77kg), is easily recognised on the pitch wearing the number 6 jersey. Along with his club career, Trusty has had the honour of representing the United States national team. His current market value is considered to be around £6.5m, according to Transfermarkt. His Celtic contract is set to continue until the 30th of June, 2029.

Trusty's footballing journey has seen him travel across the globe. Initially joining the Philadelphia Union in the MLS as a trainee in January 2016, Trusty had a strong start in his debut season in 2018, making 34 first team appearances and even bagging a goal. The following season saw him make 22 first team appearances and score another goal. In November 2019, Trusty transferred to the Colorado Rapids, also in the MLS, for an undisclosed fee.

His time at the Colorado Rapids was mixed. Season 2020 witnessed him making 8 first team appearances, a number which increased dramatically to 33 in the following season, during which he also managed to score a goal. His final season at the club in 2022 saw him make 16 first team appearances. Trusty then made a big leap across the pond in January 2022, transferring from the Colorado Rapids to Arsenal in the English Premier League for a reported fee of around £1.6m. However, Trusty was soon loaned out back to the Colorado Rapids.

After brief periods at Arsenal, the Colorado Rapids, and a loan spell at Birmingham City in League One, Trusty made a move to Sheffield United in the Championship in August 2023 for a hefty fee of around £5m. During his tenure at the club, Trusty made a respectable 32 first team appearances and kicked off the 2024-2025 season with a single league appearance.

In August 2024, on the back of his performances at Sheffield United, Trusty transferred to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership for an impressive fee of around £6m. In his current season at Celtic, Trusty has made 20 first team appearances, scoring once. As well as his league duty, he's been involved in League Cup and Scottish Cup action for Celtic, including three starts in the Cup, two starts in the Scottish Cup, and nine starts, with a single appearance as a substitute, in the Champions League.

Overall, Trusty can be assessed as a significant addition to Celtic's defensive line, demonstrating agility, strength, and a strong command of his area.
