After joining Stourbridge Juniors in his hometown of Hagley, England, at age six, Jude Bellingham was destined for great things. He joined the Birmingham City Youth team at eight, starting in the under-8 team.
Bellingham went on to play for different age groups at the club but was fast-tracked due to his talent. He represented the under-18 team at 14 and the under-23 team at just 16. His performances at 16 got him noticed by many, with FourFourTwo Soccer Magazine naming him one of the "50 most exciting teenagers in English football."
Jude Bellingham made his professional debut with the Birmingham City first team in the 2019-20 season. He broke the club record for the youngest player to represent the Blues at the age of 16 years and 38 days.

After just one season with his boyhood club, Bellingham was signed by Borussia Dortmund for an initial $31.5 million. He became the most expensive 17-year-old and soon proved why with his performances for the club. In his three seasons with Dortmund, Bellingham made 132 appearances, winning one trophy, but undoubtedly should have been more.
