Ben Summers

Ben Summers of Ayr United was born in Hamilton, Scotland on 16 June 2004 (age 22).

Ben Summers is a Scottish central attacking midfielder, born on 16 June 2004 (age 22), and a compact 5ft 7in (1.71m). He first made a senior impression at Dunfermline Athletic, where his 2023–24 league campaign brought two goals in 20 appearances.

Celtic brought him in from Dunfermline in June 2024, a move that put him into a sharper environment without turning him into a first-team fixture in the public record. His time in Glasgow was brief enough, and in July 2026 he moved on to Ayr United.

At Ayr, Summers has started the 2026–27 season with six Championship appearances and one goal, plus five League Cup outings with one goal and one Scottish Cup appearance. Across all competitions for the club, he has 12 appearances and two goals.

His career so far has been a tidy Scottish route: Dunfermline, Celtic, then Ayr United, with his best senior production still coming from that Dunfermline season before the move to Glasgow.
