Aaron Christopher Ramsdale (born 14 May 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL Championship club Sheffield United. He has been capped by the England national under-21 team.

Early life

Ramsdale was born in Stoke-on-Trent and was raised in the nearby village of Chesterton.[4] Ramsdale began his career at Newcastle-under-Lyme-based club Marsh Town. In 2014, Ramsdale was identified by The Sentinel as a future prospect after helping his school, Sir Thomas Boughey High School, to reach the English Schools' FA Cup semi-final.[5]

Club career

Sheffield United

In 2013, Ramsdale joined Sheffield United after time spent in the Bolton Wanderers youth team.[6] After graduating from Sheffield United's youth academy,[6] Ramsdale signed a scholarship with the club in May 2014.[7] Ramsdale appeared twice as an unused substitute during the 2015–16 season against Coventry City and Scunthorpe United.[8] In May 2016, he signed his first professional contract with the club.[9]

Ramsdale made his professional debut starting in a 6–0 home victory over Leyton Orient in the FA Cup, keeping a clean-sheet in the process.[10] He also made another appearance in the FA Cup against Bolton Wanderers but lost 3–2.[11]

AFC Bournemouth

On 31 January 2017, he was signed by Premier League club AFC Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £800,000.[12] However, the move was reported to cost £1 million.[13] Ramsdale was on the bench for the final game of the 2016–17 season against Leicester City.[14]

Football League loans

In the January 2018 transfer window, Ramsdale was loaned out to Chesterfield for the rest of the 2017–18 season.[15] Ramsdale made his Chesterfield debut against Accrington Stanley on 6 January 2018, but scored an own goal after he "allowed a seemingly harmless Jackson strike from the right to squirm into the net", in a 4–0 loss.[16] A week later, against Luton Town, he kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 win.[17] Throughout the 2017–18 season, Ramsdale made 19 appearances in total for the club in League Two, but was ultimately unable to help prevent the club from suffering relegation to the National League.[18]

On 4 January 2019, Ramsdale joined AFC Wimbledon on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season.[19] The next day, Ramsdale made his debut for the Dons in a 3–2 FA Cup third round victory over Fleetwood Town at Highbury Stadium.[20] His league debut came a week later in a 1–1 draw with Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena.[21] Throughout the 2018–19 season, Ramsdale made 20 appearances in total for the club in League One, and in doing so he won the club's Young Player of the Season Award for his performances in goal,[22] as Wimbledon achieved survival in League One despite being 10 points from safety in February.[23]

Premier League breakthrough

Ramsdale made both his Premier League debut, and his full debut for Bournemouth, on the opening day of the 2019–20 season, in a 1–1 draw against former team Sheffield United.[24] Ramsdale established himself as Bournemouth's first choice keeper throughout the first few months of the 2019–20 season, starting every single Premier League game for the club from the opening day of the season, right up until 12 January, when against Watford at home, he missed due to injury.[25] He returned to the side in the very next Premier League game, a 1–0 loss to Norwich City.[26]

He signed a new, long-term contract with the club in October 2019.[27] That same month, Ramsdale's form for the club saw him win the club's Player of the Month award for October, keeping two clean sheets in the games against Norwich City and Watford.[28] His form continued in the next few months, as he once again picked up the club's Player of the Month award in January for another string of excellent performances, including a Man of the Match winning display against Brighton & Hove Albion.[29] On 10 August, Ramsdale was named Player of the Year by the club's supporters.[30]

Return to Sheffield United

On 19 August 2020, Ramsdale rejoined Premier League club Sheffield United[31][4] for an assumed fee of £18.5 million on a four year deal.[32] In May 2021, he was named Sheffield United's Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year.[33]

International career

Ramsdale has represented England at Under 18, Under 19, Under 20 and Under 21 level.[34]

He was first called up by England U18 in March 2016 and made his debut for the side in a 4–1 win over Republic of Ireland U18 on 27 March 2016.[35] He went on to make two appearances for the England U18 side.

In August 2016, Ramsdale was called up by England U19, where he made his debut on 4 September 2016, in a 1–0 loss against Belgium U19.[36] Ramsdale started all five games for the England under-19 side that won the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship[37] and kept three clean sheets in five matches during the tournament.[38]

After winning the UEFA European U19-Championship, Ramsdale was called up by England U20 in August 2017, where he made his debut on 4 September 2017, in a 0–0 draw against Switzerland U20.[39]

On 18 May 2018, Ramsdale received a call up to England U21s for the first time by Manager Aidy Boothroyd, for the Toulon Tournament.[40] Ramsdale received his first cap for the England U21 side on 1 June 2018, playing the full 90 minutes in a 4–0 win against Qatar.[41] Ramsdale was first choice goalkeeper during qualifiers for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship[42] and also started all three games for England as they were eliminated at the group stage of that tournament.[43]

On 25 May 2021, Ramsdale was called up as part of Gareth Southgate's 33-man provisional senior squad for the delayed UEFA Euro 2020.[44] He was not named in the final 26-man squad, with goalkeepers Dean Henderson, Sam Johnstone and Jordan Pickford being selected ahead of him,[45] but was called up to the squad one game into the tournament after Henderson withdrew with an injury.[46]

Personal life

Ramsdale is a West Bromwich Albion fan, and cited an admiration for their former keeper Ben Foster when he played against him in 2019.[47]
