How old is Jack Grealish?
Date of birth and age
- Jack Grealish was born on 10 September 1995 in Birmingham, England (Transfermarkt (player registry)).
- As of 2026, he turns 31 in September. That places him in the prime age bracket for an attacking midfielder.
The implication: Grealish is neither a raw prospect nor a veteran. His next contract — whether at Everton permanently or elsewhere — will likely cover his peak years.
Physical attributes
- Height: 5’11” (180 cm), weight: 170 lbs (77 kg) (Wikipedia (biographical details)).
- Preferred foot: right. Plays predominantly as a left winger or attacking midfielder.
- His unusually developed calves have become a viral talking point — a physiological quirk that adds to his recognizable on-field silhouette.
Why this matters: Grealish’s low centre of gravity and strength on the ball are partly enabled by his lower-body build, which helps him draw fouls in dangerous areas.
Who is Jack Grealish’s wife?
Relationship with Sasha Attwood
- Grealish has been in a long-term relationship with Sasha Attwood since their teenage years (Wikipedia (biographical summary)).
- Attwood is a model and influencer from Solihull, the same hometown as Grealish.
Family life
- The couple welcomed a daughter in 2024 (Wikipedia (personal life section)).
- Grealish has spoken in interviews about how fatherhood has matured his perspective off the pitch.
The pattern: Grealish’s personal life has remained stable throughout his career moves — a contrast to the turbulence of his footballing fortunes at City.
What are Jack Grealish’s career stats?
Premier League statistics
- Through the 2026/27 season, Grealish has made 210 Premier League appearances, scoring 29 goals and providing 34 assists (Wikipedia (career stats)).
- His most productive league season remains 2019–20 with Aston Villa (10 goals, 8 assists).
Career at Manchester City
- Manchester City signed Grealish from Aston Villa on 5 August 2021 for a British record fee of £100 million (England Football (official profile)).
- His contract with City runs until June 2027 (BeSoccer (contract details)).
- In 2024-25, he made only 7 league starts and ended a 16-month league goal drought in April 2025 (The Athletic (detailed analysis)).
- On 13 August 2025, Grealish joined Everton on a season-long loan with a £50 million option to buy (The Athletic (transfer report)). Everton are covering about 75% of his £300,000 weekly salary.
The trade-off: For the price City paid, Grealish’s return in goals and assists has been modest. The loan reflects a mutual recognition that the fit never fully clicked statistically, even as Guardiola praised his off-the-ball work.
What injuries has Jack Grealish had?
Recent injury history
- Grealish has missed stretches due to a calf strain in October 2024 and a groin issue earlier in 2023 (Wikipedia (injury records)).
- These were minor but recurring soft-tissue problems that affected his rhythm during City’s treble defence.
Impact on playing time
- In the 2025-26 season with Everton, early data from BeSoccer shows 12 official matches with 918 minutes played, 1 goal and 4 assists (BeSoccer (2025/26 stats)).
- AiScore’s snapshot reports 5 appearances (4 starts), 1 goal and 3 assists (AiScore (match stats)).
The catch: The discrepancy between stats aggregators makes it hard to pin down his exact productivity. What is clear is that he has been fit enough to play regularly — no major layoffs — but his involvement in decisive moments remains inconsistent.
Will Jack Grealish play in the 2026 World Cup?
England squad prospects
- Grealish has earned 39 senior caps and scored 4 goals for England (England Football (international stats)).
- He was omitted from the England squad for Euro 2024 (Planet Sport (news report)), a decision that surprised many given his form in the preceding season.
Current form and competition
- According to Wikipedia (low-confidence source), Grealish ended his Everton loan with 5 goals and 7 assists in 38 appearances (Wikipedia (loan season summary)).
- If those figures are accurate, they represent a respectable output — better than his City seasons — and would strengthen his World Cup case.
What this means: A good loan spell at Everton could push him back into Gareth Southgate’s plans. A quiet one, especially with younger wingers emerging, might leave him on the outside. His England career is at a pivot point.

- Future transfer plans after loan
- Net worth exact figure
- Long-term injury prognosis
- Consistency in high-pressure matches
Grealish’s career is at a crossroads. The £100 million tag created expectations he never fully met at City, but the Everton loan offers a reset. For England, his World Cup spot hinges on whether he can produce the numbers that justify his talent — not just the Instagram clips.
For England manager Gareth Southgate, the choice is between trusting a player with proven international experience (39 caps) and betting on younger, more in-form alternatives. Grealish’s ability to draw fouls and hold the ball under pressure is unique in the squad, but goals win tournaments. If his loan season yields 8-10 league goals, he’s on the plane. If not, he watches from home — again.
