Jack Aitchison, born on 5 March 2000 (age 26), is a Scottish attacking midfielder who came through at Celtic before most of his senior career took shape elsewhere. That early connection matters, even if his longer run in the game has been built away from Glasgow.
He left Celtic for Barnsley in October 2020, a move that took him into a more unsettled spell of development. Motherwell and Exeter City were part of that period too, as he moved between clubs and tried to find a steadier place in senior football.
Barnsley was where he put together his most productive league season, scoring three goals in 20 appearances in 2022-23. It was not a spectacular return, but it was a firmer foothold than much of what had come before.
Aitchison is now with Bristol Rovers. In 2026-27, he has made six appearances across all competitions, including five in League Two and one in the League Cup.
His career has run from the Celtic academy into the English lower leagues, with Barnsley providing his strongest settled spell and Bristol Rovers his current platform.
