'Very proud' Jobe Bellingham promises it's 'just the beginning' after new Borussia Dortmund star makes debut in disappointing Club World Cup draw

Dortmund's latest signing Bellingham followed in the footsteps of his elder brother, Jude, and made his debut for the German giants in the side's opening game of the Club World Cup on Tuesday. While the game against Brazilian side Fluminense ended in a 0-0 draw, the ex-Sunderland starboy sent a message to his fans and expressed how proud he was to represent Dortmund.

The 19-year-old completed his record-breaking move from Sunderland for a fee of €33 million (£28m/$38m) and joined his new team-mates for training in the United States to prepare for the ongoing Club World Cup. Bellingham, as expected, came on as a substitute in the 59th-minute, after head coach Niko Kovac had explained why the English midfielder will not be starting games right off the bat.

Taking to Instagram, Bellingham posted a number of photos from his Dortmund debut and wrote: "Very proud to have my debut in black & yellow. Big games coming up.. Just the beginning."

Bellingham will be expected to play a similar role off the bench in Dortmund's next game, in which they take on South African heavyweights Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday, June 21.
