Francis Turley, born on 14 January 2006 (age 20), is a Northern Irish centre midfielder now with Celtic. His early Celtic connection included a senior appearance in 2024-25, before the more substantial part of his career so far came elsewhere.
Ayr United has given his career its clearest shape to date. Turley made seven league appearances across one season there, enough to make Ayr the club with the most weight in a still-short senior record.
He returned to Celtic in June 2026 from Ayr United and is listed in the squad with number 72. His current market value is around £106,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Turley’s career remains at an early stage: a Northern Irish midfielder with a brief first Celtic connection, a fuller spell at Ayr United, and now a return to Celtic.
