Jobe Bellingham has been voted Young Player of the Season in the EFL Championship and earned a place in the Team of the Season after a strong campaign with Sunderland.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Bellingham, a midfielder and forward for Sunderland, won the EFL Championship Young Player of the Season award. He was chosen over players like Shea Charles and CJ Egan-Riley. While some fans are debating his selection, Sunderland supporters think it was a clear choice because of his performances this year. Besides the individual award, Bellingham was also named in the Championship Team of the Season, highlighting his talent at just 19 years old.
RISING STAR AT SUNDERLAND
Bellingham joined Sunderland in 2023 and has quickly become a key player, making 83 league appearances and scoring 11 goals so far. He is known for his versatility, playing both in midfield and attack this season. His performances have helped Sunderland in a tough Championship campaign. Even though Sunderland faced strong competition, this young Englishman’s consistency and impact in games have made him one of the division’s rising stars. Sunderland are now in the middle of the table, aiming for a playoff push next season.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR BELLINGHAM AND SUNDERLAND?
With this award, Bellingham’s profile will continue to grow, and there might be speculation about his future at Sunderland this summer. The team has one league fixture left, against Millwall, who are two places below them in the table. Both teams aim to finish their seasons on a positive note. Sunderland’s coaching staff see Bellingham as a central part of their future, but interest from clubs in higher divisions could challenge their determination to keep him after his breakout year.
