The left-back won three trophies during his career

Wayne Bridge has showed off his new look after the former Chelsea and England star recently underwent a hair transplant.

The 44-year-old was one of the best left-backs of his generation during his playing days and won three trophies during his career in football.


Recently, Bridge revealed that he'd had a hair transplant at the DHI Global clinic near Harley Street in central London.

The procedure involved the former footballer removing 4,085 hair follicles individually and then replanting them in the balder areas of his skull with a special pen.

Bridge stepped out at a star-studded screening of 'The Wild Robot' on Sunday with his wife, Frankie.

Frankie Bridge voices the part of Snowdown the Goose in the upcoming film, which is due to release on October 18.

The film currently has a 98 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes, while Metacritic have given it a score of 85 per cent.

Bridge looked smart as he attended the screening and his hair certainly appeared thicker and fuller than before.

The former England star and wife Frankie were joined by their two sons, Parker and Carter.

Speaking recently about his procedure, Bridge said that he felt it would give him a much-needed 'boost'.

And he also revealed that Frankie was supportive of his decision, saying: "I have been suffering from hair loss since my mid-30s and I just felt it would give me a bit of a boost to get it sorted.

"So many men are getting help with their hair and it is really no big deal. I told Frankie what I was doing and she was really supportive.

"She said, 'Go for it,' and supports anything that makes me feel better about myself."

Bridge also revealed that he was inspired by former England cricket star Phil Tuffnel, who also opted to take action.

"I bumped into him at a wedding and his hair looked great," he said.

"He explained that he had gone to DHI because the treatment is so discreet and no one knows you have had it done until all the hair has grown back."
