CAMERON CARTER-VICKERS
The USA International Cameron Carter-Vickers joined the Hoops on a permanent basis from Tottenham Hotspur in June 2022 following a successful season long loan at Paradise.
Since joining Celtic, the central defender has been one of the most influential members of the squad, playing a key role in the team’s seven domestic trophy wins in just three seasons - the SPFL Championship three times, the Scottish League Cup twice, and the Scottish Cup twice.
The level of Carter-Vickers performances has been highlighted with selections for the PFA Scotland Team of the Year in each of his full seasons at the club - 2021/22, 2022/23 & 2023/24.
He has scored some vital goals for the Hoops including the winner in a 2–1 win against Rangers in April 2022, which helped move Celtic six points clear at the top of the Premier League table and in January 2024 signed a new five-and-a-half-year deal, keeping him at the club until 2029.
The central defender joined Tottenham Hotspur's youth academy aged 11 years old, before impressing through the ranks and making his senior level debut during the 2016/17 season in cup competitions under then Spurs manager, Mauricio Pochettino.
In the summer of 2017, Carter-Vickers signed on loan for Sheffield United, spending half a season at the newly promoted Championship side - scoring on his debut, the only goal in a 1-0 win over Bolton Wanderers.
In January 2018, the centre-back spent six months on loan at Ipswich Town, before spending further season long loans at Swansea City (2018/19), Stoke City (August 2019 to January 2020), and Luton Town (January 2020 - August 2020).
Carter-Vickers then spent the 2020/21 season on loan at AFC Bournemouth, before featuring once for Tottenham in a UEFA European Conference match at the start of the 2022 season, ahead of signing on a season-long loan at Paradise in August 2021.
COUNTRY BHOY
Cameron Carter-Vickers holds English and American dual citizenship and chose to represent the latter from a young age. After featuring regularly for the USA's Under-18s, Under-20s and Under-23s, the centre-back made his senior level international debut on November 14, 2017 at the age of 19.
He represented the USA at the 2022 World Cup, helping the team keep a clean sheet against Iran in a 1-0 victory and appeared at the group stages of the 2024 Copa America against Panama.
On the squad he said, “We are a very focused group, and we’re always trying to improve so we look forward to every game we play and we just want to go out there and perform the best we can.”
