Height, Weight & Measurements
Ben Amos stands tall at an impressive height of 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm). His weight is reported to be around 190 lbs (86 kg). His athletic build combined with his remarkable reflexes makes him a formidable presence on the field.
In his first season at Manchester United, Amos became a regular starter for the club's under-13 team, playing in 19 out of 27 matches in the 2001–02 season.
His first appearance for the under-18s came on 8 October 2005, when he came on as a substitute for Danny Rose after starting goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler was sent off in a 2–0 defeat to Bolton Wanderers.
He was regularly named as an unused substitute during the 2005–06 season – including for two reserve team matches – but became a frequent starter for the under-18s in 2006–07 after signing a trainee contract in July 2006. However, he missed the final of the 2006–07 FA Youth Cup with a dislocated shoulder.

As of 2025, Ben Amos is known to be in a committed relationship with his girlfriend, although the specifics regarding her identity have remained largely private. He prefers to keep his personal life out of the limelight, focusing instead on his football career. The couple shares a close bond, and they often engage in activities together outside of football.
While at Crewe, he also played for another local team, Bollington United, as a centre midfielder. One year later, Amos was playing for his local team against the team at the top of the table, and they needed to win the match to win the league.
Amos' team's goalkeeper was injured during the game, and as the tallest on the team, Amos was put in goal; however, he had also been the team's regular penalty taker all season, so when they were awarded a penalty, he went all the way up the pitch to take the kick.
He scored, and his team went on to win the game 3–2, together with the league title. After the game, his parents told him that a Manchester United scout had been watching him and that he had been invited for trials. Amos joined Manchester United at the age of 11.
Net Worth and Salary
Ben Amos has built a successful career in football, with an estimated net worth of around $3 million in 2025. His salary varies depending on his contracts with clubs, but it is known to be in the region of $500,000 per year. This wealth reflects not only his playing contract but also possible endorsements and partnerships within the sports industry.
Bolton manager Phil Parkinson said the Charlton loan spell had greatly improved the player's confidence and that he was working very hard with goalkeeping coach Lee Butler. He was, though, keen to offload as much of the goalkeeper's £16,000-a-week wage from the playing budget as possible.
He left Amos out of a pre-season trip to Scotland, relying instead on Mark Howard and Ben Alnwick, and he instructed Amos to find a new club. The club also stopped paying his wages in full and on time. On 13 July, Amos was signed by Championship side Millwall, joining the club for the 2018–19 season.
Manager Neil Harris said that he wanted "a fight for the number one jersey" between Amos and number one Jordan Archer. David Martin was also signed on a short-term contract.
Archer initially started until Amos replaced him in goal in the first half of the season after Harris alluded to a "mentality issue" with Archer; however, it was Martin who finished the campaign as first-choice as the Lions successfully avoided relegation. Amos did not feature at The Den after conceding four goals at Norwich City on 10 November.
He also missed six weeks with a hand injury after a piece of bone was found floating in one of his fingers.

His career has been marked by significant achievements, including promotions and cup runs with his teams. As a smart investor, he has ventured into various businesses, including youth football academies, focusing on nurturing young talent.
On 29 October 2009, Amos signed for the Championship club Peterborough United on a month's loan as cover for Peterborough's suspended first-choice goalkeeper Joe Lewis. The club were managed by Darren Ferguson, son of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.
He made his only appearance at London Road on 31 October in a 2–1 defeat against Barnsley. After returning to Manchester United, Amos was again sent out on loan in March 2010, this time to Norwegian side Molde FK, where he remained on loan until 30 June 2010.
Head coach Kjell Jonevret was able to bring him to the club due to the connections between Molde and Manchester United's reserve team coach Ole Gunnar Solskjær. Amos said the loan at the Aker Stadion gave him a lot of life skills as he had to adapt to life in a foreign country.

His accounts are filled with insights into his life as a professional athlete, offering fans glimpses of his daily routine, training sessions, and personal interests.

With the signing of Danish goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard, Manchester United allowed Amos to join Oldham Athletic on loan for the remainder of the 2010–11 season on 7 January. He would, however, continue to train with Manchester United once a week. He was signed to provide competition for Oldham's Dean Brill.
He made his League One debut against Swindon Town the next day and kept a clean sheet. However, three days later, he conceded all six goals in a 6–0 defeat to Southampton at Boundary Park; he allowed Adam Lallana's 20 yd shot underneath his body for the second goal, and he was rounded by Lee Barnard for the sixth.
On 15 March, Lindegaard was ruled out for five weeks following a knee injury, so Amos was recalled from Oldham to cover for Edwin van der Sar and Tomasz Kuszczak. Amos was frustrated to be recalled from playing first-team football to return to the reserves.
Oldham manager Paul Dickov explained that "at a club like United you need three 'keepers — one to play, one on the bench and one in case anything else happens". Amos went on to play the second half of the 2011 MLS All-Star Game, which ended in a 4–0 win for Manchester United.
