Francis Turley indicated that he had several options in Scotland, including Aberdeen, but his ultimate desire was for the Celtic move to be successful. Turley stated that although Aberdeen and Rangers were possible choices, his heart was set on Celtic, where he is now fulfilling his childhood dream. Despite the difficulties associated with moving at a young age, the chance to join Celtic—a club he and his family have always supported—was an opportunity he could not refuse. He was spotted by Celtic scouts while playing for Northern Ireland, and after undergoing trials, he moved to Scotland, determined to make his mark at the club.
