Brandon Anthony Austin (born January 8, 1999) is a professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.

Born in England, he made an appearance for the United States under-18 national team, but has most recently been called up for the England under-21 national team.[3]

Club career

Tottenham Hotspur

[edit | edit source]

After playing with Watford and Chelsea as a young child, Austin joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2007. In his first main year with the club he was limited to five appearances with the under-18 team. The following year he made 16 appearances, more than any other under-18 goalkeeper at the club during the 2016–17 season. In the same season he also made two appearances for the under-23 in the Premier League 2 and a further appearance in the 2016–17 UEFA Youth League.[4]

After travelling with the Spurs first-team during the team's 2017 preseason tour of the United States,[5][6] he made the permanent step up to under-23 level for the 2017–18 season.[4] During the season he made two appearances during the 2017–18 EFL Trophy against EFL clubs Luton Town and AFC Wimbledon and was a key part of the team's run to the 2017–18 UEFA Youth League quarter-finals before being eliminated by Monaco on penalties.[4]

During the 2019–20 season, Austin travelled with the first-team as the emergency third goalkeeper for a few weeks. He was named as a first-team substitute for the first time on 19 October 2019 for Spurs' Premier League match against Watford as a backup to Paulo Gazzaniga following an injury to Hugo Lloris and ahead of fellow academy team-mate Alfie Whiteman.[7][8] He signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract with Spurs in December 2019.[9]

In total, Austin made 78 appearances in the Tottenham youth system, recording 12 clean sheets and captaining the club's under-19 side during the 2018–19 UEFA Youth League.[10]

Loan to Viborg FF

[edit | edit source]

Austin spent the second half of the 2019–20 season on loan to Danish second-tier side Viborg FF,[11] appearing in 14 games and recording one clean sheet.[2]

Loan to Orlando City

[edit | edit source]

On 22 January 2021, Austin was loaned to MLS side Orlando City SC ahead of the 2021 season for six months with an option to extend the loan another six months.[2] Having been an unused substitute in the first seven games of the season, Austin made his club debut on 19 June in a league game against Toronto FC in place of regular starter Pedro Gallese who was away on international duty at the 2021 Copa América. Orlando won the game 3–2.[12] He kept his first clean sheet in the following match, a 5–0 win over San Jose Earthquakes.[13] He played all five games during Gallese's absence, keeping one clean sheet and conceding eight goals.[14] With Gallese out injured, Austin was a substitute on July 30 behind Mason Stajduhar who was making his debut more than five years after signing with the club.[15] The following day it was announced Austin had returned to Tottenham following the conclusion of his initial six-month loan contract.[16]

Return to Spurs

[edit | edit source]

On 28 May 2024, Austin signed a new long-term contract.[17] On 4 January 2025, after nine years at the club, Austin made his first team debut for Tottenham, starting against Newcastle United in the Premier League, which ended in a 2–1 defeat with Austin being awarded man of the match.[18][19][20]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Austin is eligible to represent England, the United States, and the US Virgin Islands.[4] In April 2017, he made his debut for the United States under-18 against Slovakia in the Slovakia Cup.[21] In the same year he was named as the England under-19 standby goalkeeper for that summer's European championships.[4] He earned his first call-up to the England under-21 team in October 2019.[22][23]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Austin was born in Hemel Hempstead and attended Cavendish School.[22] Austin's father is former England international basketball player Neville Austin,[24] an integral part of the 1996–97 BBL winning London Towers team.[25][26]
