Dean Parrett Withdrawn From England U-19 Squad

And Dean Parrett's Spurs Profile

Spurs Official Site

The all-action midfielder joined our Academy full-time at the start of the 2008-09 season, and in December 2008 he signed his first professional contract with the Club.

Dean also earned a place on the First Team bench for our UEFA Cup group game with Spartak Moscow that month before making his senior debut in February 2009.

He started our Round of 32 first leg tie with Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine, impressing during his 89 minutes on the pitch. He then came off the bench to feature in the final moments of the second leg at White Hart Lane a week later.

Dean also had the honour of being named in the provisional 20-man squad for the 2009 Carling Cup Final against Manchester United at Wembley.

Impressive displays at junior level have already led to both Under-18 and reserve representation at the club, as well as being a regular for England Under-17s.

In the summer of 2009 he was selected for the European Under-19 Championship Elite Qualifying Round, where he featured in all three games, before earning a call-up to the squad for the tournament proper in Ukraine.

Although he made his first appearances for our Under-18s as an Under-16 player, his first season as a full-time scholar resulted in him earning the captain's armband for the second half of the campaign, in which he made 27 appearances and scored twice.

Born in Hampstead and brought up in Kilburn, London, he previously played for Queens Park Rangers.
