Professional footballer Joshua Brownhill has dismissed rumours that he has any relation to Malaysia following rumours which said that he was eligible to play for the Harimau Malaya.

The Burnley football club captain firmly stated that he is of English nationality while addressing speculation about his Instagram story.

“Just wanted to address the situation regarding some rumours that have been circulating. Unfortunately, my only nationality is English, and I am not Malaysian as some people may believe.”

I’m not sure how this started, but I want to clear it up. Thanks for the support, regardless,” Brownhill wrote.

Shortly after his statement, Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) owner Tunku Mahkota Ismail Sultan Ibrahim shared an Instagram Story revealing his private exchange with the midfielder.

In his message, Tunku Mahkota Ismail encouraged Brownhill to address the rumours.

“Hi Josh. Merry Christmas. I wish you and your family well. I think you have to come up with a statement that you’re not Malaysian. My country is crazy over you and begging me to get you to play for Malaysia.”

It will help if you can clear the air. Sorry to bother you. Best wishes. Thank you,” wrote Tunku Mahkota Ismail.

Brownhill went on to reply, “Hi mate! Merry Christmas to you, too! I’ve been thinking about addressing this for a while now, and I think it’s time.”

“I’m not quite sure how it all started. Thank you for the message.”

 

We’re glad that’s all cleared up!
