Jude Bellingham has been named England’s men’s player of the year for the 2024-25 campaign.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old midfielder scored once in eight games as England achieved Nations League promotion under interim boss Lee Carsley before beginning World Cup qualifying with new manager Thomas Tuchel.<\/p>\n

He finished above Declan Rice and Harry Kane, who took second and third places in a vote by supporters.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid’s Bellingham is just the second player to win the award while playing for a non-English club, with Bayern Munich’s Owen Hargreaves the first in 2006.<\/p>\n

Bellingham scored against Greece in the Nations League in October 2024, assisted twice and won a penalty against the Republic of Ireland in November and then assisted once against Albania in World Cup qualifying in March.<\/p>\n

He has returned to fitness following a shoulder injury which required surgery in July and kept him out until September.<\/p>\n

Bellingham is expected to be available for England’s upcoming matches against Wales on 9 October and Latvia on 14 October (both 19:45 BST).<\/p>\n

Cole Palmer won the player of the year award last year, while Bukayo Saka won in two consecutive years before him.<\/p>\n

The winner of the women’s award will be announced later this autumn, with Alessia Russo one of 18 players shortlisted, after winning the Euros with the Lionesses for a second time since carrying off the individual trophy last year.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jude Bellingham has been named England’s men’s player of the year for the 2024-25 campaign.
