Spurs forward Pierre signs first professional deal

Tottenham Hotspur’s teenage forward Jhanaie Pierre has signed her first professional deal with the Club.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Lilywhites this afternoon.

The 18-year-old joined the Spurs academy at Under-10 level and she has successfully negotiated her way to the fringes of the senior team.

Pierre has spent pre-season with the senior squad, earning vital experience during Spurs’ overseas training camp. She was also closely monitored by Spurs boss Martin Ho on the training pitch last season.

On the international stage, Pierre has earned recognition with England up to and including Under-19 level.

Pierre is one for the future and Spurs have moved quickly to agree professional terms with the player.

After signing her first professional terms with Spurs, Pierre said “I’m over the moon. I feel like I’ve put in a lot of hard work and it’s turned out great. I’m just grateful, it means a lot to me and my family.

“I’ve been at Tottenham Hotspur since Under-10s and it’s been such a journey, to be honest. Obviously with highs and lows, but it’s been great and I’ve learnt a lot through this experience. I’m just grateful that now I get to show the world who I am.”

Pierre will now continue her development with a view to pushing for first team minutes with Spurs.
