Francis Turley, a promising young number 12, was born on the 14th of January 2006, making him a mere 20 years of age. His birthplace is nestled in Northern Ireland and he aligns his skills in the midfield, taking up his preferred position as a central midfielder when on the pitch for Ayr United. He stands 5ft 10in tall (equivalent to 1.8m) and weighs in at 10st 7lb (or 67kg).
According to Transfermarkt, Turley's current market value hovers around £127,000.
It was in the autumn months of 2022 when Turley got his break into the Scottish Premiership, joining Celtic as a trainee. His debut for the Hoops eventually came during the 2024 - 2025 season when he was handed a single first team appearance in the league. His tenure with Celtic, albeit brief, provided him with the necessary exposure and paved the way for his subsequent endeavours.
February of 2026 marked another milestone in Turley's career. He was transferred from Celtic to Ayr United, a Scottish Championship outfit, on a loan deal. It's a transition that seems to be proving fruitful, with Turley enjoying four first team appearances in league matches during his current 2025 - 2026 season at Ayr United. It's safe to say that he is making the most of this new opportunity and there very well might be plenty more to come from this talented young player.
