Amari'i Bell

Early life and career

Bell was born in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, and raised in the Quinton district of Birmingham, where he attended Four Dwellings High School. As a youngster he was in the youth system at West Bromwich Albion before moving on to Solihull Moors, and he joined Birmingham City's academy in 2011. In June 2012, Bell signed a one-year professional contract. He played regularly for the development squad during the 2012–13 season, and was rewarded with another one-year contract, with the option of a further year. In July 2013, Bell joined Conference Premier club Nuneaton Town on loan until the following January. He made his debut in the opening match of the season, a 1–0 win at Macclesfield Town, playing at left wing-back. According to the local newspaper, he "shone", though the player himself was more critical, recognising the need to minimise errors such as "a bit at the end where I took a poor touch and they could have scored from it." He kept his place in the starting eleven as Nuneaton went unbeaten for the first nine matches, apart from one match missed with a dead leg, but was suddenly recalled by his parent club on 20 September.

In May 2019, Bell received an invitation to play for the Jamaican national team, ahead to team selection for the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup in July, but he withdrew through injury. He qualified for Jamaica because his grandparents are from that country. In March 2021 he was one of six uncapped English-born players to receive a call-up. This time, he was able to accept, and made his debut in the starting eleven for the friendly against the United States in Austria on 25 March 2021. He played the whole match, which Jamaica lost 4–1. He was a member of the squad for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup, and played in all three group matches, but not in the quarter-final defeat by the United States. Bell scored his first international goal on 9 July 2023 in a 1–0 win over Guatemala in the quarterfinals of the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
