Chloe Arthur returns to Celtic FC Women | OneFootball

Celtic FC Women are delighted to announce that Chloe Arthur has returned to the club on a short-term deal ahead of the 2026/27 SWPL season.

A product of Celtic FC Women’s Academy, Chloe made her first team debut aged just 16 after quickly rising through the ranks following the move from her local team Erskine YFC.

A first senior Scotland call-up followed at age 20, when she won her first cap against Northern Ireland in February 2015.

Chloe then spent a year in Edinburgh with Hibernian, where she was part of the side that reached the 2015 Scottish Cup final.

She moved to Bristol City in English football's second tier in 2016, where her decade long spell down south began by scoring on her debut before going on to win promotion with the Robins.

She would also have spells at Birmingham City and Aston Villa followed by signing for Crystal Palace in the summer of 2022.

Chloe made more than 40 appearances across her first two seasons at Palace, helping the Eagles win WSL2 for the first time in May 2023, making 17 league appearances and scoring once along the way.

She remained a key figure during Palace's 2024/25 campaign before also helping the Eagles secure a second promotion in the last three years to WSL1 last season.

At international level she has represented Scotland at two major tournaments, the 2017 UEFA Women's European Championship and the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.

After making her return, Chloe said: “I think it's kind of like a full circle moment for me. Obviously, I grew up here in the academy. I went away for just over 10 years.

“But to come back and there's familiar faces, the players, the staff, obviously back at the training ground and it's where I grew up.

Grant Scott added: "Chloe is a quality midfielder with experience playing at the highest level for both club and country.

“She's come through the ranks here, so we're all well aware of the professionalism and leadership she'll bring to the squad. We can't wait to add her to the group ahead of the new season."

Welcome home, Chloe!
