Jude Bellingham was named England Men’s Player of the Year for 2024–25, becoming the first player in nearly two decades to win the award while playing for a non-English club.
The Real Madrid star picked up the honour after making eight appearances for the Three Lions last season. Bellingham helped England win promotion in the UEFA Nations League, finding the back of the net against Greece and tallying two assists against the Republic of Ireland.
The 22-year-old then featured in England’s European qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he set up Myles Lewis-Skelly’s record-breaking winner against Albania.
Bellingham beat out Declan Rice, who came second in the voting, and Harry Kane, who came third in the voting, for the England Men’s Player of the Year award. The midfielder now joins the likes of Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard and David Beckham on the exclusive list of past winners.
