Joshua Mark "Josh" McEachran (born 1 March 1993) is an English footballer who plays for Championship club Middlesbrough as a midfielder on loan from Chelsea. He is a left-footed central creative midfield player.
Early life
McEachran was born in Oxford, Oxfordshire to Scottish parents.[2] He grew up in the village of Kirtlington with his sister Danielle and younger brothers Zach, Will and George. He began playing football for Garden City F.C. in the Oxford Mail Boys League, where he was spotted by a Chelsea scout.[3] He then joined the Blues as an academy player at the age of 8 and rose through the ranks while juggling his academic responsibilities at Marlborough School in Woodstock.[4]
Club career
2010–11
McEachran made his competitive first team debut for Chelsea against MŠK Žilina on 15 September 2010 as a substitute.[5] He became the first player to be born after the UEFA Champions League started on 25 November 1992 to take part in the competition.[5][6] McEachran made his home debut in a League Cup tie against Newcastle United, where he again came on as a substitute.
He made his Premier League debut on 25 September in a 1–0 defeat to Manchester City.[7] On 23 November 2010 manager Carlo Ancelotti announced that McEachran would make his first start against MŠK Žilina, which he did. He followed this up by playing the entire game away to Marseille in a UEFA Champions League group game. McEachran started for Chelsea against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge on 15 May 2011, a 2–2 draw at home to Newcastle and in total, he made nine starts and 13 sub appearances in campaign with then manager Carlo Ancelotti preferring to use him in a deep midfield role. His inclusion in the line-up was viewed by pundits as a suggestion that the Chelsea administration are keen to retain McEachran and that they recognise the importance of younger players in an otherwise ageing team.[8] He then came off the bench to make his ninth league appearance away to Everton F.C. in the final game of the 2010-11 Premier League season.[9] In his debut season in the Chelsea first team, McEachran was awarded the Chelsea Young Player of The Year award on 19 May 2011.[10]

2011–12
On 15 July 2011, he signed a new five-year deal, alongside team-mate Ryan Bertrand who signed a four-year deal with Chelsea.[11] Fifteen days later, he scored his first Chelsea senior team goal against Aston Villa with a first minute tap-in to open the scoring. Chelsea went on to win the game 2–0 after a 58th minute Fernando Torres roundup and won the Barclays Asia Trophy. On 12 August 2011, Chelsea announced he would wear the number 20 shirt, last worn by Deco, for the 2011/12 season.[12] He requested a loan transfer to Wigan Athletic but Chelsea turned down his request, with Chelsea citing him in their first team plans.[13] He started the League Cup match against Fulham which Chelsea won 4–3 on penalties.[14] Josh McEachran made his first Premier League appearance of the season as he came on as a 82 minute substitute in Chelsea's 4–1 win over Swansea.[15] Josh McEachran started the League Cup match against Everton and won a penalty for Chelsea, the game ended a 2–1 win for Chelsea.[16]
On 17 January 2012, McEachran completed a loan move to Swansea City.[17] On finalising the deal he told Blues News that he was looking forward to working under former Chelsea reserves coach and Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers. 'I want to get game time to be honest, and it will be good playing for Brendan. Swansea play really good football and I'm looking forward to it.'[18] McEachran was given the number 17 jersey. McEachran made his debut for Swansea City against Sunderland coming off the bench in the 66th minute for Gylfi Sigurðsson, the match ended 2–0 loss for Swansea City.[19] McEachran made his first start for Swansea in a FA Cup match against Bolton Wanderers which ended in a 1–2 defeat.
2012–13
On 20 August 2012, McEachran completed a loan move to Championship club Middlesbrough on a season long loan.[20][21] After his move to Middlesbrough, McEachran says he joined the club in order first team opportunities and fight his place under manager Roberto Di Matteo[22]. He made his debut appearance for Middlesbrough the next day, in a 3–2 victory against Burnley.[23]
International career
McEachran represented and captained England at U-16 level and played a key role in the England U17 side to win the 2010 European Under-17 Football Championship. He quickly progressed through the ranks and has since and has gone on to become a regular in the England U19 side and was further rewarded for his good early season form with Chelsea's first team by making his debut for England U21 against Germany on 16 November 2010 at the age of 17. Mceachran had become a full England U21 international at 18 years of age.
Because of his Scottish parentage, McEachran is eligible to represent Scotland.[24] The Scottish Football Association approached McEachran in February 2012, but he stated his preference to play for England.[25]
In April 2012, it was announced he was part of the 80-man shortlist for the Great Britain football team in the London Olympics, 2012.
Style of play
McEachran's best attributes are his ability of unlocking defenses with his close control on the ball, vision and composure. McEachran has said he idolized Zinedine Zidane growing up by saying "With Zidane it was everything about him, his goals, his touches. He was the complete all-round midfielder.". When Zidane retired he looked up to Andrés Iniesta.[26]
Former Chelsea player and former Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins recalled the first time he laid eyes on McEachran saying: "A couple of years back, when I had just joined Chelsea, I was watching an Under-17 match between us and Racing, a club side from Argentina. Josh was playing, despite only being 15; I'd never seen him play before, but in the first half he cut inside someone and played an inch-perfect pass inside the full-back. I turned to the other Chelsea coaches next to me and said, 'That's Liam Brady!' It was the biggest compliment I could think of at the time."[27]
Stuart Pearce, the England national football team under-21 manager, praised McEachran after a friendly against Italy. “Chelsea think extremely highly of him and you can see why," said Pearce. "He’s got ability and vision. “All of our cutting passes probably came from him. Henri Lansbury has got the insight to play those passes but I think, in Josh, he’s got an outstanding talent, similar to Jack Wilshere, and it bodes well for us.”[28]
Under the management of Carlo Ancelotti, McEachran was deployed mainly as a defensive midfielder in his appearances for the first team, usually replacing Michael Essien or John Obi Mikel, although his preferred position is as a centre or attacking midfielder. However, under the new Chelsea manager André Villas-Boas he was given a more advanced attacking role. Villas-Boas commented on McEachran saying "This is a youngster with so much talent, Physique-wise, there is nothing to him at the moment. In the changing room you see him getting ready to go and train and he looks nothing like a footballer. His power and pace is in his head. He went on "But you could say the same about Luka Modric, Jack Wilshere or Samir Nasri. All are built with slight physiques but they are all among the finest midfield players in the world. Josh is going that way. His brain is always five yards ahead of the rest. I see in him very much as part of the future of this club."[29]
Former Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers commented on the signing of Mceachran on loan for the rest of the 2011/12 season saying: "He's a wonderful technician with the ball, with great vision. He is an immense talent, which he will demonstrate over the next number of years. Also that: "His talent is all there to see, it's pure natural ability."[30]
Personal life
McEachran has been dating Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent, who plays Sophie Webster, since May 2011. [31]
