Former Tottenham Hotspur wonderkid Reo Griffiths has now joined National League side Wealdstone.
The 23-year-old had been without a club since November after leaving Doncaster Rovers following the termination of his contract.
He has now made the move to the struggling Wealdstone where he will be fighting against the drop.
Reo Griffiths joins Wealdstone
The now 23-year-old departed Hotspur Way in 2018 to make the move to Ligue 1 side Lyon on a four-year deal.
He saw out his contract in France before making the move to Doncaster after failing to make a single appearance for the first team.
Griffiths then went on to make 21 appearances for Doncaster where he was only able to provide a return of two goals.
However, he has now been forced to take a step down from League Two and join up with Wealdstone.
Barcelona wanted Reo Griffiths
It is a shame the 23-year-old’s career has turned out the way it has as he was a seriously promising young talent.
During the 2017/18 campaign, Griffiths provided a stunning return of 27 goals in 20 appearances in U18 Premier League.
He even scored four during an emphatic 9-0 victory over Arsenal’s U18 outfit that season.
This saw a number of Europe’s biggest clubs show an interest in him with Barcelona even credited as one of them.
It should be seen as a message to some of the current Spurs youngsters who are setting the youth leagues alight.
The likes of Will Lankshear and Jamie Donley are both showing a lot of promise and could even be knocking on Ange Postecoglou’s door soon.
But it could very quickly turn for them and it is the likes of Harry Kane’s resilience which they need to pay attention to if they want to succeed.
