England Star Becomes Hometown Hero After Buying Local Pub

.

He clearly has never forgotten his roots and is eager to give back to the Cornish community which shaped him as a person.

Nowell supports charities within the South West of England, such as the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and Cornwall Hospice Care.

One prime example of this is his decision to buy his local pub, The Swordfish Inn, in Newlyn, in 2018.

“I remember being down there as a kid with my dad and I just remember it being so rammed and seeing everyone like a family,” says Nowell.

“When I got old enough and started drinking, it got a bit quiet and fizzled out a bit, and I was then in a position where I could afford to buy it, so me and Mark and Nick George bought it together.

"They’re two guys that run pubs down in Cornwall and they’re very, very good at what they do, so I mentioned (my plans) to them one day and they were really keen to do it with me.

"I’m trying to build it slowly into what it used to be like.”
