Cameron Carter-Vickers, born on the cusp of 1997 and 1998 in England, has, over the years, sturdily established himself as a central defender. At present, he touts the number 20 jersey for Celtic. Standing at a substantial 6 feet (1.84 metres) and a strapping 14 stone 6 lbs (92kg), Carter-Vickers is a veritable force to be reckoned with on the field. Although he claims England as his birthplace, he has not shied away from wearing the colours of the United States national team as well.
Transfermarkt values the robust defender - who currently has nearly four full seasons left on his contract with Celtic, set to run its course by the end of May 2029 - at roughly £14 million. You can read more about his market value here.
Carter-Vickers' career first saw light as a trainee for Tottenham Hotspur in July 2009. One might say he truly began to assert himself as a player when he transferred on loan to Sheffield United in August 2017; he made 17 first team appearances and scored a noteworthy goal. His journey continued with a temporary move to Ipswich Town in January 2018, followed by a stint at Swansea City in August 2018, where he led 30 first team appearances.
In August 2019, a new chapter began for Carter-Vickers at Stoke City, where he made 12 first team appearances in the 2019-2020 season. This was closely followed by a transfer to Luton Town in January 2020, and finally, a loan move to Bournemouth in October 2020. At Bournemouth, he added 21 first team appearances and a goal to his total.
In August 2021, Carter-Vickers made a profound decision, transferring on loan to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. Not only did he demonstrate his skills with 33 first team appearances and four goals in his debut season (2021-2022), but he also continues to prove his worth at Celtic till date. By the 2023-2024 season, he had made 25 first team appearances and scored a goal, and currently, in the 2024-2025 season, he has already made 30 first team appearances and been credited with a goal.
In July 2022, a shakeup occurred; his loan status at Celtic converted to permanent, following a transfer negotiation of approximately £6 million. He has since proven his relentless worth in the Celtic squad, contributing various goals throughout the seasons.
Carter-Vickers has further proved his mettle in various championship leagues. For instance, he participated in the Champions League 2023 - 2024 for Celtic, with three starts and one substitute appearance, and the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 for Celtic, where he made a solid four starts. He has also participated in the Copa America 2024 for the United States with a substitute appearance, aside from his seven steadfast starts in the Champions League 2024 - 2025 for Celtic.
