Benjamin Arthur

Benjamin Arthur of Brentford was born on 9 October 2005 (age 20).

Benjamin Arthur, born on 9 October 2005 (age 20), is an English central defender who joined Celtic from Brentford in February 2026. His senior career is still at an early stage, but the move to Celtic has already done far more to shape it than anything before.

Arthur arrived after a Brentford spell that had not brought him league football. At Celtic, he has made four league appearances in the 2025-26 season, without scoring, and remains part of the current squad. That is a modest body of work, but for a young centre-half it is at least a foothold.

His market value is around £85,000, according to Transfermarkt. For now, Arthur’s career is a brief one: Brentford in the background, Celtic as the place where his senior football has begun to take shape.

For a 20-year-old central defender, the numbers point to a squad-development role rather than a regular first-team place.

Arthur’s available rating data was steady rather than standout, with a 6.88 average and a range from 6.32 to 7.47. That spread suggests he was generally competitive in limited rated appearances, but the sample was too small to read as established consistency.

Arthur’s career record is still thin at senior league level. His path has taken him from Peterborough United to Brentford and then to Celtic on loan, which suggests a player being moved through stronger environments before establishing a settled first-team role.

The transfer history shows a clear step up in platform: Peterborough United to Brentford for an undisclosed fee in 2023, followed by a loan move from Brentford to Celtic on 2 February 2026. The Celtic switch looked like a development loan rather than a permanent commitment, with no fee reported.
