England star Phil Foden planning shock career change as Man City ace reveals ‘buzz’ from his favourite pastime
ENGLAND and Man City star Phil Foden is planning to swap football for fishing when he retires.
The midfielder, 24, is a keen angler and even indulged in the pastime during the Three Lions’ Euros campaign.
On fishing tackle brand Korda’s YouTube channel, Foden told of the thrill he got when he landed a catch.
He added: “This is me when I retire. A vlog for fishing.
“When I was around five, my old man would always take me and I have loved it ever since.
“I was just catching whatever really, the smaller fish, then the more times I did it I got into catching the bigger fish, the carp.
“I go to my local places and catch whatever. It’s the buzz — whatever fishing I am doing I enjoy.”
Foden told host Neil Spooner: “At the Euros training camp we had lakes on the golf course.
“I would get the rod out and catch a few carp.”
During the YouTube video, Foden caught a 28lb carp — short of his 39lb record.
