Francis Turley, born on 14 January 2006 (age 20), is a Northern Irish central midfielder at Celtic. His early connection with the club included a league appearance in 2024-25, but the first real shape of his senior career came away from Glasgow.
Ayr United has so far been the main club in his development. He made seven league appearances there across one season, enough to make Ayr the clearest reference point in a career still at an early stage rather than a finished article.
Turley returned to Celtic from Ayr United in June 2026 and is listed in the first-team squad as number 72. His market value is around £106,000, according to Transfermarkt.
At this stage, his career is a modest one: an early Celtic appearance, a short but more substantial run at Ayr United, and now another chance to build at Celtic.
