Francis Turley, born 14 January 2006 (age 20), is a Northern Irish centre midfielder who came through the Celtic youth set-up. He has worn squad number 72 at Celtic, with his first-team league involvement so far limited to one appearance in the 2024-25 season.
Most of his senior football has come away from Celtic, with Ayr United giving him the clearest run of league minutes to date. Across one season at Ayr, he made seven league appearances without scoring, which is enough, at this stage, to make that spell the main body of his professional career rather than a footnote.
His current market value is around £106,000, according to Transfermarkt. Turley’s career remains at an early stage: Celtic gave him his grounding, while Ayr United has provided the bulk of his senior league experience so far.
