Benjamin Arthur, born on 9 October 2005 (age 20), is an English central defender whose senior career has been shaped chiefly by Celtic. He joined in February 2026 from Brentford, arriving as a young defender with plenty still to prove rather than a finished article. His market value is around £85,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Arthur’s first season at Celtic brought four league appearances in 2025-26, enough to give him a tangible part in a Premiership-winning campaign. It was a foothold, not a full establishment in the side, but for a young centre-half arriving midway through the season, it mattered.
In 2026-27, while still part of the current Celtic picture, he has also been involved with Portsmouth, making two Championship appearances and one in the FA Cup. Celtic remains the main thread in his career so far, with his next step still a practical one: finding regular senior football and making it count.
