Herefordshire’s own Jarrod Bowen made history, netting his first senior international goal for England in a resounding 5-0 victory over Ireland.
The 27-year-old West Ham star, who began his senior career at Hereford United, marked his return to the England squad with a stunning strike just 30 seconds after coming off the bench in the 75th minute.
Under interim boss Lee Carsley, England secured promotion to the top league of the Nations League, capping off an impressive campaign.
Bowen’s Breakthrough Moment
Bowen’s goal capped an exceptional team performance, with the forward demonstrating his clinical finishing ability.
“It was a fantastic evening for many of the players,” said Bowen in a post-match interview. “I’ve always wanted the England team to be exciting to watch, with an attacking mindset. The players are eager to overcome any challenge.”
Carsley praised Bowen’s quality, encouraging him to be more selfish in front of goal. “I told him to shoot every time he got the ball. He has exceptional talent, and sometimes he can be too unselfish, prioritizing assists over goals.”
A Proud Moment for Herefordshire
Bowen’s achievement is a testament to his dedication and hard work, inspiring aspiring footballers across Herefordshire.
With this milestone, Bowen solidifies his position in the England squad, and fans eagerly anticipate his future contributions.
