Bellingham has 46 caps for England
England and Real Madrid footballer Jude Bellingham has bought a 1.2% stake in cricket team Birmingham Phoenix.
The Edgbaston-based side were one of the eight Hundred franchises put up for sale last year and American investment group Knighthead Capital Management, who own Bellingham's former club Birmingham City, bought a 49% stake for £40m. Warwickshire retained their 51% stake.
Bellingham has taken on 0.6% from each party, meaning Warwickshire still have control with 50.4%.
The deal, worth close to £1m, will be confirmed on Wednesday.
