Auston Trusty is an American central defender, born on 12 August 1998 (age 27). A tall, imposing defender at 6ft 3in (1.91m), he joined Celtic from Sheffield United in August 2024 for around £6m.
Before Celtic, his most productive league season came at Birmingham City in 2022-23, when he scored four goals in 44 appearances. That spell gave him a decent grounding in the more bruising end of British football, which is rarely a bad education for a centre-half.
At Celtic, Trusty has been part of a successful domestic period, winning two Premiership titles in 2024-25 and 2025-26, along with the League Cup in 2024-25. He was also part of the Celtic squad that finished as Scottish Cup runners-up.
In 2026-27, he has made one league appearance, four Scottish Cup appearances and seven Europa League appearances for Celtic, scoring twice in Europe. Across all competitions for the club this season, he has 12 appearances and two goals. He has also represented the United States, making two World Cup appearances and scoring once.
His current market value is around £5m, according to Transfermarkt. Trusty remains a current Celtic player with a career built across England, Scotland and international football with the USA.
