Bellingham leads $10m fund raise of Premier League-backed tech firm Rezzil

Jobe Bellingham has led a $10m fund raise of Premier League-backed technology firm Rezzil. The 21-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder – whose brother Jude starred for England at the Fifa World Cup this summer – is part of the round alongside putting coach Phil Kenyon, who has worked with the likes of Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. Rezzil states that “Jobe’s investment forms part of a broader strategic partnership with the Bellingham family, under which Rezzil will deliver technology supporting future digital initiatives”. The firm, which initially pioneered the usage of virtual reality in professional football, is heading into insight actioning known as “movement intelligence”. As part of the fundraise, the Manchester-born company has opened a London office, in addition to one in Chicago as part of a Stateside expansion. The firm will double its head count to around 100 people as part of the move. Bellingham leads fresh tech investment “This investment gives u
