Jack Grealish (born 10 September 1995) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Aston Villa and for England U21. He joined Aston Villa at the age of 6, and made his debut for the club in May 2014, following a loan at Notts County. Eligible to represent either England or the Republic of Ireland internationally, Grealish was capped by Ireland up to under-21 level before confirming his decision to play for England in April 2016. He played for the England under-21 side for the first time in May 2016, winning the 2016 Toulon Tournament.
Grealish was born in Solihull in the West Midlands and qualifies for the Republic of Ireland through his maternal grandfather from County Dublin, his paternal grandfather from Gort, County Galway, and his paternal grandmother from Sneem, County Kerry.
Influenced by his Irish heritage, Grealish played gaelic football for John Mitchel's Hurling and Camogie Club of Warwickshire GAA between the ages of 10 and 14. He competed against former Aston Villa Ladies and current Birmingham City Ladies defender Aoife Mannion, a school classmate of his, at gaelic football. On 4 August 2009 Grealish scored a point representing Warwickshire GAA at Croke Park during half-time of the 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final between Dublin and Kerry.
