Jobe Bellingham - Signed

Other teams have been trying to get him also the 300k is what it would of cost us if we where to get him out of contract because of his age, that number was thrown around last summer prior to signing his new deal.

We’ve been after him since then, nearly got him last summer when we went up but felt his development at that time was with Birmingham.

When you factor in everything such as the mess Birmingham have been off the field the past year, while seeing the opportunities we’ve gave to youth, how well we’ve performed this year & the fact Mike Dodds is here who the family give a lot of credit too for Jude’s development then you can see why for his development this is the best place for him.

Huge decision on his part mind, but defiantly excited by this one and not just because of the Bellingham name nut from clips I’ve seen and read he looks like he’s got a very high ceiling in his own career.
Yeah I agree I’m just surprised he doesn’t have more options available to him. Seems a bit of a coup for us Albeit he may not turn out amazing.
