Jude Bellingham named England Men’s Player of the Year

Jude Bellingham has been crowned the 2024-25 England Men’s Senior Player of the Year as voted by supporters, marking a historic milestone for the Real Madrid midfielder.

The 22-year-old edged out Arsenal’s Declan Rice and Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane to claim the prestigious award, becoming only the second player to win it while playing for a non-English club, following Owen Hargreaves’ triumph with Bayern in 2006.

Bellingham’s standout performances for the Three Lions last season underscored his growing influence on the international stage.

Featuring in eight matches, he played a pivotal role in England’s promotion in the UEFA Nations League under interim boss Lee Carsley last autumn and their strong start to the FIFA 2026 World Cup European Qualifiers under new head coach Thomas Tuchel in March and June.

His impact was undeniable, scoring in a 3-1 victory over Greece at Wembley in October and earning Player of the Match honors in a 5-0 rout of the Republic of Ireland in November.

The Real Madrid star’s creativity shone brightly, with a memorable assist for Myles Lewis-Skelly’s first England goal against Albania in March and two additional assists in the Ireland clash.
