Taylor Harwood-Bellis, captain of the England U21 team that won the European Championship, has received his first call-up to the senior national team, according to The Sun. The promising English talent is also known for his relationship with Roy Keane’s daughter, Lia Keane, the daughter of the former Manchester United captain.

Harwood-Bellis recently became engaged to Lia. The young defender has spoken about how his future father-in-law has been supportive of his career, offering valuable advice that Taylor takes to heart.

“Lee rang me in the morning. I couldn’t quite believe it at first. It was a feeling of pride. Then I phoned my dad and he was very proud. The fact I had played for England through the age groups and now I was in the seniors, all my family were delighted,” Harwood-Bellis shared his emotions about the call-up.

Taylor is a product of Manchester City’s youth academy, having been with the club since he was six. He has spent time on loan at Blackburn, Anderlecht, Stoke City, Burnley, and Southampton. The latter club secured his services with a permanent deal in the summer of 2024 for a £20 million buyout from Manchester City.
