Today is August 12th. It’s a significant day in history: it’s known as the date the sewing machine was patented; the date the construction of the Berlin Wall began; the date Erwin Schrodinger was born; and the date that will go down in history as the day after Mikey Moore’s birthday, and the day he signed his first professional contract with Tottenham Hotspur:

Having just turned 17, the young English winger has put pen to paper on what is reportedly a three-year contract – the maximum length a player under the age of 18 can sign – and has committed his future development to Tottenham Hotspur.
It’s been a meteoric rise for Moore, who has been mooted as a player destined for bigger things for some time. Joining the club at age 7, he was called up to the U21’s for the first time while still a 15-year-old, and after scoring 17 and assisting 12 in 22 appearances at U18 level last season, cemented a place in the U21 squad. He capped this phenomenal 23/24 season off by becoming the youngest player to appear for Spurs in the Premier League, coming off the bench against Manchester City late last season.
He’s been a bright spark throughout preseason, and hopefully this new deal is a sign of things to come for Mikey. Youth development is never linear, so who knows where his career goes from here – but he has made a phenomenal start, and don’t be surprised to see him spending more time in and around the first team setup this season.
Congratulations, Mikey!
