Playing Style

Rice plays mainly as a defensive midfielder and is known for his athleticism and tackling, but he has grown into a more complete midfielder whose ball-carrying and ability to strike from range have seen him pushed forward at times as a number eight. He is also widely praised for the quality of his passing. He stands 1.88 m, is right-footed, and has played 4,164 minutes over the course of this season.

The 2026 World Cup will be Declan Rice's second. He was part of England's squad at the 2022 finals, and Thomas Tuchel has named the midfielder once more for 2026. Rice arrives with 6 goals from 72 senior caps for England this summer.
