Sean McArdle

• Sean McArdle, 2025 (CEL) Sean Patrick McArdle was born on Monday, 27th August, 2007, in Mauchline, East Ayrshire. The midfielder temporarily transferred to Mark Wilson's Thistle on Wednesday, 1st October, 2025, from his parent club, Celtic. Aged 18, he made his debut appearance on Saturday, 4th October, 2025, in a 1-1 draw at home to Arbroath in the SPFL Championship. We look forward to seeing Sean score his first goal for Thistle. His club-list includes Celtic and Partick Thistle.

Bio Extra

The teenager was a regular fixture for Celtic B in the Lowland League since signing his first professional contract with the Hoops as a 16-year-old in 2023, helping them to a 2nd-place finish in 2024-25. The youngster made his senior Celtic debut in May 2025 when he came off the bench in a 3-1 home win over Hibernian; he would go on to feature as a substitute again four days later in a victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie. He then started 2025-26 by appearing in 10 league games for Celtic B, scoring twice in four games against SPFL opposition in the Challenge Cup, finding the net against Clyde and Alloa Athletic. Following this good form, Thistle manager Mark Wilson brought him to Firhill at the beginning of October 2025, signing Sean up to a season-long loan deal. He said: We’re delighted to add Sean to our squad for this season. He’s a very talented young midfielder who has been playing regular Lowland League football for a couple of seasons now. He’s calm and composed on the ball and has that creativity in possession to go and create goals, either by scoring himself or by setting up his teammates. We’ve already had Josh Clarke and Ben McPherson come in on loan from Celtic and make a real impact and I’m confident Sean can do similar.
