Between the ages of 10 and 14, Grealish played Gaelic football for John Mitchel’s Hurling and Camogie Club of Warwickshire GAA. At Gaelic football, he competed against former Aston Villa and current Manchester United defender Aoife Mannion, a classmate.

Grealish scored a point for Warwickshire GAA against Dublin during half-time of the 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final between Dublin and Kerry in Croke Park on 4 August 2009.

Greely’s younger brother, Keelan, died of sudden infant death syndrome at the age of nine months in April 2000. His great-great-grandfather, Billy Garraty, was also a footballer; he played for England once and won the 1905 FA Cup Final with Aston Villa.

In March 2020, Grealish was found to have violated COVID-19 regulations by staying at home, and Aston Villa fined him. Grealish was banned from driving in the UK for nine months and fined £82,499 after pleading guilty to two counts of careless driving in March and October 2020, including one in which he was filmed colliding with several parked cars during a turn in the road.

Jack Grealish Net Worth

The attacking midfielder signed a contract with Manchester City in August 2021 worth 12 Million Euros (10.8 Million Pounds) per year.

Since 2012, the English midfielder has been part of the first team of Aston Villa after coming through the youth system at the club. Since he now plays at City, his net worth will skyrocket. His net worth is € 30 million, and his market value is around €100million (£87.5 million).

Grealish had drawn Nike’s attention even before making his mark in the Premier League. Before the start of the 2018/19 season, Nike signed up as the future star recognizing his immense potential. In doing so, the US sportswear giant made one of the smartest endorsement deals in football history.

However, Grealish’s Nike tenure will come to an end next season. The current Nike deal brings in around ￡400,000 annually, which is not much compared to his England colleagues Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling’s deals with Nike.

Club Career

• Grealish, a lifelong Aston Villa fan, joined the club as a six-year-old after joining Highgate United Youth. On 31 March 2012, he was named as an unused substitute in a 4–2 loss to Chelsea at home in the Premier League.

He scored his first career goal on 7 December, beating three defenders to score the last goal in a 3–1 victory over Gillingham at Meadow Lane, and then a week later scored the opening goal in a 4–0 victory at Colchester United.

• After Villa’s 4–0 loss to Everton, he chose to stay in North West England and go clubbing. The new manager, Rémi Garde, punished him for this action by having Grealish train with the under-21 side, stating that “you must behave like a professional in these situations, which Jack failed to do here.”. Grealish returned to full training on 8 December.
• Leeds United head coach Steve Evans said on 7 January 2016 that Villa had rejected an inquiry to take Grealish on loan.

The club moved out of the bottom three and overtook their rivals in the Premier League table.
• Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, the Premier League was suspended midway through Aston Villa’s return season in March 2020. Grealish violated government guidance by staying home during that enforced break. 
• Across the 2019–20 Premier League season, Grealish was fouled 167 times, which was the most fouls won by a player in a single season, with over eight matches remaining. Aston Villa secured survival in the Premier League after drawing 1-1 with West Ham United on the final day, while relegation rivals Watford fell 3–2 to Arsenal.
• Grealish signed a contract extension with Villa until 2025 on 15 September 2020. On 28 September, he scored Villa’s first league goal of the season in a 3–0 victory over newly-promoted Fulham.
• Against Liverpool, he scored twice and provided three assists in a 7–2 victory at home on 4 October. Liverpool suffered their heaviest defeat in 57 years and conceded seven goals in a single match for the first time in Premier League history.
• Manchester City announced on 5 August 2021 that Grealish had signed a six-year contract that would run until 2027.

• Grealish was given the number 10 shirt by the team which had previously been worn by club legend Sergio Agüero, who departed from City the month prior after ten seasons with the team. Ten days later, Grealish made his debut for City on a 1–0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on the first matchday of the 2021–22 Premier League.
• Grealish scored his first goal for the club against Norwich City in a 5–0 win on 21 August.

Nathan Ake also assisted his teammate on City’s opening strike.
