Tottenham Hotspur have taken another step towards cementing their long-term future by signing 17-year-old striker George Feeney on his first professional contract.
the club announced the deal on its official websiteexpressing his pleasure in securing the services of the promising young man.
George Feeney’s rise to prominence
Feeney joined Spurs in July 2023 from Glentoran in Northern Ireland and has quickly established himself as one to watch within the U18 set-up.
His football journey began to attract attention in September 2023 when he made his senior debut for Glentoran in the County Antrim Shield. Soon after, he made his NIFL Premiership debut, contributing to a 4–2 win over Newry City.
In October, Feeney etched his name into the Glentoran history books as the club’s youngest goalscorer, scoring in the Northern Ireland Football League Cup.
Since arriving in North London, Feeney has continued to shine. This season, he has played 13 games for Tottenham Under-18s in the Premier League and FA Under-18 Cup, scoring two goals and providing three assists. His rapid progress suggests he could soon find his way into Ange Postecoglou’s senior team plans.
Feeney’s potential is not limited to club level. The versatile forward has represented both Wales and Northern Ireland at youth level, showing his adaptability and ability to perform on bigger stages.
He joins a group of exciting young talent at Spurs, including Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Mikey Moore, Wilson Odobert and Luka Vuskovic, the latter of whom will join next season.
This commitment to fostering youth reflects Tottenham’s vision for sustainable success, building a team capable of competing at the highest level in the Premier League and Europe.
Tottenham desperate for new January signings
While fans will be pleased with the news, they will remain frustrated by the club’s lack of activity when needed.
The squad has been decimated by injuries to key players and recent struggles in the Premier League have exposed the need for reinforcements.
After their defeat to Everton, manager Ange Postecoglou indirectly urged chairman Daniel Levy to act, claiming the players need help, a thinly veiled plea for new signings.
They have been linked with several players, including Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho and Patrick Dorgu, from Lecce, who are looking to address various positions. However, with just 10 days left in the January transfer window, no deal looks set.
