It’s an interesting move for the now 26-year-old, who has spent his entire career in England, having previously featured for Wolves, Leeds, Scunthorpe, Tranmere, Oldham and of course – Burton Albion.
Nevertheless, to revitalise his career, a drastic switch may be necessary. We wish you all the best, Cameron!
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson was once ‘rated higher than Rashford’
Just six years ago he toppedSciSports‘ list of the top 30 youngsters in European football – which was based entirely on potential.
He outranks a list of unbelievable players including current Manchester United starsMarcus RashfordandDonny van de Beek, whilst also featuring some of Europe’s finest in Theo Hernandez, Ousmane Dembele, Martin Odegaard and Youri Tielemans!
It is quite funny to look back at that, but he really did shine in that first campaign at United. Prepare yourselves Poland – you’re about to be getting some sweet left-footed crosses in the Ekstraklasa.
