Club career

Early career

Born in Warrington, Helm joined Manchester United at the age of seven, before leaving the club in 2021 at the expiration of his contract. [3] Immediately after leaving Manchester United, he signed for Burnley, citing Dwight McNeil, who had also made the move from United to Burnley, as a role model for paving the route to first-team football. [4] [5] His career at Burnley got off to a good start, with the midfielder earning praise for his performances in pre-season friendlies. [6]

Burton Albion

On 12 January 2023, Helm moved to EFL League One side Burton Albion on an eighteen-month deal. [7] [8] He made his debut two days later, in a 4–0 home loss to Shrewsbury Town, with his first performance being described as 'tidy'. [9]

Style of play

A versatile midfielder, capable of playing in the centre of the field as a playmaker or box-to-box midfielder, as well as the right-hand side, Helm drew comparisons to former Manchester United player Wayne Rooney. [8] [10] He is also a dead ball specialist, and is known for dictating the tempo of play. [10]
