Early life

Jaden Richard Philogene-Bidace [3] was born on 8 February 2002 in Hammersmith, Greater London. [4] He attended Uxbridge High School, where he was regularly named best footballer. [5]

Club career

Aston Villa

Early career

Philogene was signed by the Aston Villa academy from the Pro:Direct Academy in London in January 2018. He spent time on trial at a number of clubs in the English Football League, reportedly including Brentford, before settling at Villa. [5]

After impressing for the Under-23 squad, and reportedly attracting the interest of Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund, [6] Philogene signed his first professional contract with Aston Villa. [7]

On 19 May 2021, Philogene was given his first-team debut, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 away victory for Aston Villa against Tottenham Hotspur. [8]

Loans

On 21 January 2022, Philogene joined Championship club Stoke City on loan until the end of the 2021–22 season. [9] The following day, Philogene made his Championship debut as a late substitute in a 3–2 home defeat to Fulham. [10] Philogene played 11 times for Stoke, scoring once in a 3–0 win against Swansea City on 8 February 2022. [11]

On 26 July 2022, Philogene joined Championship club Cardiff City on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season. [12] [13] He made his debut for Cardiff on 6 August 2022, as a late substitute in a league defeat to Reading. [14] Philogene scored his first goal for Cardiff on 13 August, the deciding goal in a 1–0 victory over Aston Villa's bitter rivals Birmingham City. [15]

Hull City

On 1 September 2023, Philogene signed for Championship club Hull City for an undisclosed fee. [16] He made his debut on 15 September in a 1–1 home draw with Coventry City. [17] In November 2023, Philogene was named Hull City's Player of the Month for October. [18]

On 13 February 2024, Philogene scored the equalising goal in Hull City's 2–1 win at Rotherham United, which was later nominated for the FIFA Puskás Award. [19] In the goal, Philogene nutmegged the opposition defender before putting the ball in the back of the net with a Rabona. [20] While initially recorded as an own goal due to a slight deflection before the ball crossed into the net, [21] the English Football League eventually credited Philogene with the goal. [22]

Return to Aston Villa

On 19 July 2024, Philogene rejoined Aston Villa on a five-year contract. [23] Hull City had agreed an £18 million transfer fee with Ipswich Town earlier in the summer which prompted Aston Villa to enact a clause in the original transfer agreement with Hull City that allowed them to match the fee. However, because of a 30% sell-on clause that was also in place, the fee that Aston Villa paid Hull City was closer to £13 million. [24] [25] On 17 August, he made his debut for the club, as a substitute, in a 2–1 win against West Ham United in the league. [26]

On 2 October 2024, Philogene made his UEFA Champions League debut in a 1–0 victory over Bayern Munich. [27] Later that month, on 19 October, he received his first red card in a 3–1 victory away at Fulham, after receiving a second yellow card in the final minutes of injury time. [28]

Ipswich Town

On 15 January 2025, Philogene signed for fellow Premier League club Ipswich Town for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £20 million, plus add-ons. [29] [30] On 26 February, he netted his first goals for the club in a 3–2 away defeat against Manchester United. [31] Later that year, on 12 September, he scored a hat-trick in a 5–0 victory over Sheffield United. [32]

International career

Born in England, Philogene is of Dominican descent. [33] In November 2020, Philogene was part of a training camp for the England national under-19 team, and played as a substitute in an unofficial match against Derby County U23s, in which he scored a hat-trick. [34]

Philogene made his debut for the England under-20s on 6 September 2021 in a 6–1 victory over Romania at St George's Park. [35]

On 12 October 2023, Philogene made his first appearance for the England under-21s, scoring twice against Serbia in a 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier. [36]
