Benjamin Arthur, born on 9 October 2005 (age 20), is an English central defender who joined Celtic from Brentford in February 2026. It was a move with the feel of a development punt rather than a headline signing, which is no bad thing in itself.
His first months at Celtic have been modest but useful enough. In the 2025-2026 season, he has made four league appearances and two more in the Scottish Cup, giving him six appearances in all competitions without a goal. His form has been solid when used, though he has been out of the matchday squad recently, with his last appearance coming in Dundee United 2-0 Celtic on 22 March 2026.
Arthur’s current market value is around £85,000, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, his Celtic career is still in its early shape: a young defender brought in from Brentford, given limited first-team minutes, and still waiting to establish a regular place.
