Declan Rice (born 14 January 1999) is a professional footballer who plays for West Ham United and the Republic of Ireland as a centre-back or defensive midfielder.[3]

Club career

Youth

Rice was born in London to English parents. His grandparents on his father's side were from Douglas, County Cork.[4] He grew up in Kingston upon Thames and joined the academy of Chelsea in 2006, as a seven-year-old.[5][6] In 2014, after his release at the age of 14, he joined the academy of West Ham United.[7][8]

West Ham United

On 16 December 2015, just over a year after joining the club at youth level, Rice signed his first professional contract with the club.[9] Rice was called into the West Ham United senior squad for the first time for the games against Sunderland and Everton in April 2017, after impressing in West Ham's under-23 team.[10] He made his senior debut for West Ham against Burnley on the last day of the 2016–17 Premier League season, coming on as a 91st-minute substitute for Edimilson Fernandes in a 2–1 away win,[11][12] five days after captaining the under-23's to promotion with a 2–1 win at Newcastle United.[13] His full senior debut came on 19 August 2017 in a 3–2 defeat at Southampton.[14] In April 2018, he was named as runner-up for the 2017–18 Hammer of the Year award behind Marko Arnautović.[15] In December 2018, Rice signed a new contract until 2024 with the option of an additional year.[16]

International career

Although born in London, Rice is eligible to play for Ireland as his grandparents were from Cork.[17] On 19 March 2017, Rice was named Republic of Ireland U17 player of the year.[18] On 23 May 2017, only days after his Premier League debut, Rice was named in the Republic of Ireland squad to play friendlies against Mexico and Uruguay and a World Cup qualifier at home to Austria.[19] He made his senior debut on 23 March 2018 in a 1–0 defeat to Turkey.[20]

International decision

In August 2018, Rice was omitted from the squad to play Wales by manager Martin O'Neill who said that Rice was considering switching to play for England after being approached by them.[21] By November 2018, having been omitted from three squads selected by O'Neill, Rice said he was no closer in deciding whether to play for Ireland or England.[22] In December 2018, Rice met with new Ireland manager Mick McCarthy and his assistant, Robbie Keane. McCarthy said that Rice was a potential future captain of Ireland and that he would build the team around Rice should he decide to play for the country.[23]
