PROMISING Celtic kid Bruno Davidson has retired from pro football aged just 20 to pursue another one of his passions.
The youngster was a mainstay of the Hoops B team and youth ranks, battling the likes of Real Madrid in the UEFA Youth League and going on pre-season tours.

But he’s called time on his career at such a young age – to pour his energies into being a fashion designer.
He’s launching his own clothing brand Bruno Narducci – which is inspired by his Italian grandfather Pasquale Narducci’s own clothing label.
Born in Singapore, Davidson was also capped by Scotland at Under-16 level before attracting the interest of Canada, for whom he also qualifies.
Writing on Instagram, Davidson said: “I’m excited to finally share that I’ve made the decision to step away from football to fully pursue my passion for fashion and launch my own clothing brand @brunonarducci
He revealed the decision on his Instagram account – and insisted it WASN’T a kneejerk decision.
His profile on that site now reads Bruno Narducci Davidson and he lists his profession as ‘fashion designer’.
He said: “This has been in the works for a while, but the time feels right to announce it now.
“For those who know me , this isn’t a sudden shift, my decision was made over a long period of time and was well thought out and planned. This is something I’ve been passionate about for years an now I’m ready to take that next step.
“A huge thankyou to Celtic for the memories, the friendships, the experiences and the lessons that shaped me.
On his grandfather’s legacy, he added: “His work was never just about making clothes — it was about craftsmanship, relationships, and perseverance in a new world.
“Back then, clothing wasn’t just fabric and thread, it was a symbol of identity and personal detail.”
Davidson’s contract at Celtic was due to expire this summer.
