KIERAN TIERNEY

Kieran is a professional Scottish footballer born in the Isle of Man who doubles for Arsenal FC and the Scotland National team as a left side defender. His reputation has continued to magnify since his early days in the Celtic academy, where he became beloved for his tough tackling and relentless energy down the wings. He made his Celtic debut in April 2015 at just 17 years of age, and went on to captain The Bhoys a mere two seasons later. He won SPFA (Scottish Professional Footballers Association) Young Player of the Year 3 years in a row and the SFWA (Scottish Football writers Association) which had never been done before, as well as the domestic “treble treble”. Having won every trophy Scotland has to offer, on August 8th, 2019, He became the most expensive Scottish transfer in history after Arsenal secured his services for a reported 25 million pound fee.

The high fee has come with added pressure for success from many in Scotland, yet his humble demeanor and old-school work ethic has helped him to succeed quickly. His performances after recovering from injury saw him rapidly become a cult hero at Arsenal in his debut season. While his accolades shine bright for such a young professional, his ethos directly align with FUSE as he prides himself on his desire for improvement and aptitude to leave everything he has on the field. He has been destined for stardom in Scotland from a very early age, but he is determined to keep his feet firmly planted on the ground with an old-school mentality and fortitude lost on many of today’s stars. FUSE is delighted to have a Celtic and Arsenal man through and through that truly represents it’s core values. Kieran is sure to continue to impress at Arsenal and cement his status in North London as he has in Glasgow.
