Birmingham City club-trained players

We can verify 2 club-trained players in the Birmingham City squad: Demarai Gray and Bradley Mayo. Between them they have played 2% of Birmingham City's league minutes in 2026/27. 3 other squad players are not verifiable on our record.

• Demarai Gray (FWD): 268 league minutes
• Bradley Mayo (GK): no league minutes yet

On the record we can verify, 3 players club-trained at Birmingham City now play for other clubs we track, led by Jordan James (Wolverhampton Wanderers, value €14m), Jack Butland (Hull City, value €2m) and Odin Bailey (Portsmouth, value €2m).

• Jordan James · Wolverhampton Wanderers · €14m
• Jack Butland · Hull City · €2m
• Odin Bailey · Portsmouth · €2m

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
