Villa youngster Grealish rejects Ireland, pledges international future to England

Talented Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish could be wearing English colours at next summer’s European Championships after the 20 year old officially pledged his international future to the Three Lions. Grealish, born in Solihull to English parents, has represented Ireland at various youth levels from U15 to U21 level and qualifies to play for the Republic through his grandfather. He is a keen Gaelic footballer, and a look through his Twitter account sees plenty of “Come On You Boys In Green” hashtags.

I’ve decided to give my allegiance to England. It was not an easy decision as Ireland has a special place with me through my family. However, I have decided to represent my country of birth

Grealish had rejected a senior call up by Ireland in May earlier this year as he sought time to make a decision on his international future.
