Jobe Bellingham's first message after signing for Borussia Dortmund

As he takes his first steps with his new German side Borussia Dortmund, the talented Englishman has declared that he will work to create his own legacy with the club from Sunderland.

The 19-year-old English talent has completed a €30 million move from newly-promoted Sunderland, becoming the second member of the Billingham family to wear the Dortmund shirt, five years after his older brother Jude Billingham.

Details of the Englishman's contract with Dortmund

The 19-year-old has signed a five-year contract with Borussia Dortmund, and the official announcement was made in a short official video shared on the German club's social media channels with the words ‘The name is Jobe’ and a picture with the English club's shirt.

After today's exciting announcement, the England Under-21 international is preparing for a new chapter in his career as a professional footballer.

What he said in his joining announcement

With words full of passion and love for the stands where his older brother Billingham used to attend matches, the 19-year-old confirmed that he will endeavour to write his own history with Dortmund in the following words:

I've been here before. Watching games, hearing the fans chant, feeling the power of these colours. This place has stuck with me, Now I'm here again - not to watch, and not to follow anyone's footsteps. The same stadium. The same city. But the story - that’s ours to write now.
