Celtic are excited to announce the signing of defender Ashley Smith-Brown.

The 25-year-old joins the club after most recently departing National League North side Farsley Celtic.

Ashley started his career at Manchester City at the age of five and spent 19 years at City. His long tenure at the club saw loan spells with Dutch Top flight side NAC Breda, Hearts and Oxford United before joining Plymouth Argyle in 2018.

A further loan spell with Oldham Athletic saw Ashley leave Plymouth and join South Shields. A brief stint in the North East sees the full-back link up with Simon Haworth’s side.


Ashley is also an England youth international having made a total of 33 appearances for England for the Under 16s, 17s, 18s, 19s and 20s.

Welcome to Celtic, Ashley!
