Francis Turley, a promising young footballer hailing from Northern Ireland, was born on the 14th of January, 2006. At a mere 19 years of age, he is carving his own path in the fiercely competitive world of professional football. As a versatile midfielder, he has carved a niche for himself in the enigmatic heart of Celtic's midfield. Turley stands at about 5 feet 10 inches tall, or 1.8 metres if one prefers metric, and weighs a sturdy 10 stone 7 pounds (approximately 67 kilograms).
Evidently, Turley has earned his place under the historic green and white hoops of Celtic, donning the number 66 jersey with pride. Turley's market value currently stands at around a humble £130k, as cited on the reputable Transfermarkt, though this is certainly subject to change as he continues to develop his craft and make a name for himself on the pitch. His contract with Celtic, thankfully, has a comforting 3 years and 3 months remaining, and is not set to expire until the 31st of May, 2028. Such a long-term deal is no doubt evidence of Celtic's belief in young Turley's potential and their desire to keep him on board for the foreseeable future.
Reflecting back on the 2024-2025 season, Turley's debut season in the Premiership, he made a single appearance, albeit as a substitute. This spark of on-field involvement, modest though it may have been, is a promising start to what is hopefully a fruitful career. It is a reminder that even the greatest careers must start somewhere, and every minute on the pitch is an opportunity to prove one's worth. No doubt all eyes will be on young Turley in the coming seasons as we watch in anticipation for his rise through the ranks of Glasgow Celtic.
