Brandon Austin committed to Tottenham for the long haul earlier this week by signing a new five-year contract.
The extension, which comes after his previous deal was set to expire in June, was a surprise to many, given that reserve goalkeepers at Spurs typically signed two-year extensions.
Despite not yet making a competitive appearance for the club, the length of Austin’s contract hints at the club’s future plans for their goalkeeping department.
Austin, who served as the backup goalkeeper during Fraser Forster’s injury absence last season, could potentially move up to the No.2 role in the future.
However, the club may also consider loaning him out to gain more experience.
Despite the lack of playing time, Austin remains committed to improving and supporting the team, emphasizing the importance of training and camaraderie.
With a busy summer of pre-season games ahead, Austin aims to prove himself and climb the ranks at Tottenham.
