Jaden Richard Philogene-Bidace[4] was born on 8 February 2002 in Hammersmith, Greater London.[5] He attended Uxbridge High School, where he was regularly named best football player.[6]

Club career edit

Aston Villa edit

Early career edit

Philogene was signed by the Aston Villa academy from the Pro:Direct Academy in London in January 2018. He spent time on trial at a number of clubs in the English Football League, reportedly including Brentford, before settling at Villa.[6]

After impressing for the Under-23 squad, and reportedly attracting the interest of Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund,[7] Philogene signed his first professional contract with Aston Villa.[8]

On 19 May 2021, Philogene was given his first-team debut, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 away victory for Aston Villa against Tottenham Hotspur.[9]

Loans edit

On 21 January 2022, Philogene joined Championship club Stoke City on loan until the end of the 2021–22 season.[10] The following day, Philogene made his Championship debut as a late substitute in a 3–2 home defeat to Fulham.[11] Philogene played 11 times for Stoke, scoring once in a 3–0 win against Swansea City on 8 February 2022.[12]

On 26 July 2022, Philogene joined Championship club Cardiff City on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season.[13] He made his debut for Cardiff on 6 August 2022, as a late substitute in a league defeat to Reading.[14] Philogene scored his first goal for Cardiff on 13 August, the deciding goal in a 1–0 victory over Aston Villa's bitter rivals Birmingham City.[15]

Hull City edit

On 1 September 2023, Philogene signed for Championship club Hull City for an undisclosed fee.[16] He made his debut on 15 September in a 1–1 home draw with Coventry City.[17] In November 2023, Philogene was named Hull City's Player of the Month for October.[18]

On 13 February 2024, Philogene scored the equalising goal in Hull City's 2–1 win at Rotherham United, which some pundits described as worthy of FIFA Puskás Award.[19] In the goal, Philogene nutmegged the opposition defender before putting the ball in the back of the net with a Rabona.[20] While initially recorded as an own goal due to a slight deflection before the ball crossed into the net,[21] the English Football League eventually credited Philogene with the goal.[22]

International career edit

On 17 November 2020, Philogene made his England U19 debut in a 8–0 friendly victory over Derby County U23s in which he scored a hat-trick.[23]

On 6 September 2021, Philogene made his debut for the England U20s during a 6–1 victory over Romania U20s at St. George's Park. [24]

On 12 October 2023, Philogene made his first appearance for the England U21s, scoring twice against Serbia in a UEFA Euro 2025 qualifier.[25]
