In the latest Next Up, Sky Sports takes a look at the rise of Jobe Bellingham with help from his former captain Troy Deeney
England’s second tier is where Jude made his name and the league forged the global superstar we see before us today.
At just 15, Jobe was named amongst the substitutes for Birmingham's League Cup tie against Colchester United. When he then made his debut at 16 and 107 days old against Plymouth Argyle, he made history as the second youngest player to make an appearance for the club. His brother's Galactico transfer may have overshadowed Jobe’s move to Wearside, but it was one that Deeney felt was the right change for Jobe at the right time.
“They're a good club in the Championship and they'll be earning very good money. But they’ll feel like they need the Premier League. Jobe’s manager at the time Mowbray was supportive of his decision to change the name on his back from “Bellingham” to “Jobe”.“He doesn’t want to live off the back of his brother’s name; he wants to be the footballer that he is and show people what he can do.”
“It takes a few sessions to really show what they can do with a football and to show what their personality. But he was so self-assured. He was like ‘I'm ready for this.’”Jobe's proved he's more than ready to take steps up in his career at international level. Since making his England U16s debut in 2021 he has then gone on to represent the U17s, U18s, U19s and in June 2024 he made his debut for the England elite squad, formerly known as the U20s.
