Taylor Harwood-Bellis has been named England under-21 captain for their upcoming qualifier against Andorra, as the Manchester City defender declared his ambitions to wear the armband for any side he represents.
Centre-back Harwood-Bellis, 20, has become a regular for the Young Lions this season and has been rewarded for his good performances with the captain's armband on Friday. On loan at Stoke after spending the first half of the season at Anderlecht, Harwood-Bellis has played every minute of every game since moving to the Championship, and now he will look to bring that experience to international duty under boss Lee Carsley.
Reacting to the news, Harwood-Bellis said he aims to lead in every side he plays for, and wants to be captain for club and country in the future, telling reporters: “It’s a big honour and something I’ve strived to be in my career.
