Benjamin Arthur, born in England on 9 October 2005, is currently best known as a formidable central defender for Celtic Football Club. Now aged 20, the footballer stands at a sturdy 6ft 2in (1.88m) and weighs 12 stone 8 pounds (80kg), characteristics that serve him well in his designated defensive role.
Arthur's journey to Celtic began modestly in July of 2022, when he first secured a placement with Peterborough United in England's League One. But Arthur's time with the 'Posh' was merely a launching pad. Just a little over a year later, in August 2023, he moved on to Brentford, a club playing in England's much-acclaimed Premier League. The fee for this transfer, unfortunately, remains undisclosed.
His stint with Brentford was productive, but destiny had other plans. Football, after all, is as much about chance as it is about strategy. In February 2026, Arthur made the critical leap across the border to join Celtic in the Scottish Premiership on a loan agreement. This transition signalled not just a change in the footballer's career but also a shift in the fandom's expectations. Engaged in the often tense, high-stakes theatre of Scottish football, Arthur has had to adapt rapidly and demonstrate his skills on an even grander stage.
In return, Celtic has offered Arthur a platform to assert his prowess, cement his stature, and perhaps, in time, join the ranks of the club's stalwarts. His performance consistently ripples through Celtic's defensive line, setting a benchmark for fellow teammates and future prospects alike. It is this current tenure with Celtic that defines Arthur's career thus far and the future, undoubtedly, holds even greater opportunities for this promising athlete.
