Jamaal Lascelles (born 11 November 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender and is also the captain of Championship club Newcastle United.

Club career

Nottingham Forest

Lascelles was born in Derby, Derbyshire.[1] He began his career at Nottingham Forest, progressing through the club's youth system.[3] In January 2011, the club rejected a £5 million offer from Arsenal for him.[4][5] He signed his first professional contract in March 2011.[6] Lascelles made his first-team debut on 31 January 2012, starting in a 2–0 defeat to Burnley.[7]

Loan to Stevenage

In March 2012, Lascelles joined League One side Stevenage, on loan until the end of the 2011–12 season.[8][9] He made his debut for Stevenage on 13 March 2012, coming on as a 69th-minute substitute in a 1–0 home win over Oldham Athletic, playing in the right-back position.[10] He made his first starting appearance in Stevenage's 6–0 away victory at Yeovil Town on 14 April 2012, scoring the club's fourth goal with a header from Luke Freeman's cross.[11] Lascelles also provided the assist for Patrick Agyemang's goal in the same game.[12] He remained as a first-team regular from then onwards, playing the remaining four games of the regular season as Stevenage secured a League One play-off spot.[13] Lascelles also played in both play-off matches, as Stevenage lost 1–0 on aggregate to Sheffield United.[14][15] He made nine appearances during his two-month loan spell, scoring once.[16]

Return to Nottingham Forest

On 7 August 2012, Lascelles signed a new four-year contract with Nottingham Forest.[17] He made a total of three appearances in all competitions in the 2012–13 season.[18]

Lascelles broke into the starting line-up in the 2013–14 season,[19] forming a central defensive partnership with Jack Hobbs[20] and making a total of 29 league appearances.[21] On 22 January 2014, Everton were fined £45,000 by the FA over an "unauthorised approach" to Lascelles in 2010 while he was still a youth player at Nottingham Forest. Lascelles was warned as to his future conduct.[22] On 18 March, Lascelles extended his contract in a new four-and-a-half year deal.[23] A reported £4 million bid from Queens Park Rangers was rejected by the club in July.[24][25]

Newcastle United

On 9 August 2014, Lascelles signed a contract with Premier League club Newcastle United. As part of the deal, he was loaned back to Nottingham Forest for the 2014–15 season.[26][27]

Lascelles returned to Newcastle for the 2015–16 season and made his debut for the club on 25 August 2015, against Northampton Town in the League Cup.[28] He made his league debut on 3 October, as a substitute in a 6–1 defeat at Manchester City.[29] Lascelles found first-team football hard to come by and didn't make his first league start for Newcastle until 23 January 2016, when he played in the 2–1 defeat to Watford, capping his performance with a goal.[30] Following injuries to regular starting centre-backs Chancel Mbemba and Fabricio Coloccini, Lascelles was given regular minutes under new manager Rafael Benítez and gradually stepped up his game, grabbing his second goal for the club in the 3–0 win over Swansea City on 16 April,[31] totalling 18 appearances in his first Premier League season.

On 4 August 2016, Lascelles was chosen to become Newcastle United team captain.[32]

International career

Lascelles has represented England at all youth international levels from under-18 to under-21.[33]

On 28 May 2013, he was named in manager Peter Taylor's 21-man squad for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[34] He made his debut on 16 June, in a 3–0 win in a warm-up game against Uruguay.[35]

On 27 February 2014, Lascelles received his first under-21 call-up for the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying match against Wales.[36][37] He made his debut, and only under-21 appearance, starting in the qualifying match against Moldova on 9 September 2014.[38]
