Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Reserves and Academy

The Reserves

The Tottenham Hotspur Reserves consist of mainly young players under the age of 21 who are no longer eligible for the academy but are still trying to make the step up to the senior team. The reserve team is also often used to give senior squad players and senior players returning from injury the chance to play and keep or build up match fitness.

The team are currently managed by former player Clive Allen and play their matches at Leyton Orient's home ground Matchroom Stadium from the 2007–08 season onwards. They originally played at Broadhall Way, the home ground of Stevenage Borough. They have won one Premier Reserve League South title since the league's formation in 1999.

The club announced on 12 June 2009 that for the 2009–10 season it would not be entering a team in the Reserve League. Instead the reserve players would be loaned out for first team experience, and if necessary friendly matches would be arranged as required during the season to test out players returning from injury.
