Auston Trusty, born on 12 August 1998 in the USA, is a reputable defender currently plying his trade with Celtic FC. Boasting an impressive height of 6ft 3in (1.91m) and a weight of 12st 1lb (77kg), Trusty dons the number 6 jersey. His national ties extend beyond his club level career, with appearances made for the United States national team.

Currently, Trusty's market value stands at approximately £5m, as per data provided by Transfermarkt. His contract with Celtic, set to expire on 30th June 2029, still has a decent run of about 3 years and 11 months.

Trusty embarked on his professional journey in January 2016 with Philadelphia Union in the MLS. During his trainee season in 2018, Trusty made a promising start with 34 first team appearances and a goal to his name. He carried forward his form into the next season, accumulating 22 appearances and scoring one goal.

In November 2019, Trusty departed Philadelphia Union for Colorado Rapids for an undisclosed fee. His tenure with the Rapids saw him rack up a considerable tally of league appearances, with a highlight being the 33 appearances made and a goal scored in the 2021 season.

The year 2022 was marked by a series of moves for Trusty, starting with a transfer to Arsenal in the Premier League for a fee of around £1.5m. However, he soon returned to Colorado Rapids on loan, where he replicated his previous performances. Following that, a loan move to Birmingham City in the English Championship saw Trusty notch up 44 appearances and four goals.

Post his brief stint at Birmingham, Trusty swerved his career direction towards Sheffield United in the Championship for £5m. His run with the Blades spanned across two seasons, garnering 32 appearances in the first season and one appearance in the subsequent one.

Finally in August 2024, Trusty made his way to the Celtic Park for a fee of around £6m. Here, Trusty put up a good show in his debut season with 22 first-team appearances and one goal. Already two matches into the current 2025-2026 season, Trusty has been a robust presence on the field for Celtic. Not only did he feature in the Scottish Cup 2024-2025, but also left his mark in the Champions League 2024-2025 with nine starts and one appearance as a substitute.

Detailing Trusty's journey heartens one of the fact that Celtic FC stays true to its commitment of acquiring talent with notable potential. Even more, it strengthens the belief that despite the occasional tribulations, Gardien Hoops march on.
