And when asked whether Rice could lead England later in his career, Pearce said: I dont see any reason why not, it just depends on how he develops as a man but on working with him I think from footballing terms hes above his years.Hes gaining great experience at West Ham and this will only be good for him to work with Steve Holland, work with Gareth Southgate and rub shoulders with some of the top players in the Premier League. Hes made a big call with regards to representing the Republic of Ireland first before deciding to trade allegiance with England.The decision brings a little bit of pressure with it and certainly with these early squads.”
