Former Leeds United youngster Oliver Boast has signed his first professional deal with Leeds United’s former relegation rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Boast joined United’s Academy when he was eight years old but the forward announced last summer that he was leaving the club to start a new chapter and the teenager joined Tottenham’s under-18s as a first-year scholar.
An England youth international, the 17-year-old striker enjoyed a fine year for Tottenham’s under-18s for whom he scored 14 goals and Boast has now signed his first pro deal with the club.
A statement from Tottenham Hotspur read: “We're delighted to announce that Oliver Boast has signed his first professional contract with the club.
"Oliver, who turned 17 last month, has been a regular for our Under-18s during the recently-concluded season after arriving from Leeds United last summer, where he had been since the age of eight.
‘Scoring 14 goals along the way including a hat-trick at Birmingham City’
"Capable of playing at centre-forward or on the right side of the attacking line, he featured in all but one of our Under-18 Premier League games in 2025/26, scoring 14 goals along the way including a hat-trick at Birmingham City in March.
“He also added three more goals in our run to the semi-finals of the Under-18 Premier League Cup, taking his tally to 17 overall.
"An England Under-17 international, Oliver also made four appearances in our Under-19 UEFA Youth League campaign.
“Congratulations, Ollie!"
Taking to his Instagram page, Boast wrote: “Proud moment for me and my family to sign my first professional contract.”
