Former Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker has returned to the club as a coach.

Parker announced his retirement from Fulham this week and has now joined Spurs as Under-18s coach.

He said: “I'm delighted to be back at Tottenham and look forward to immersing myself in the job. Obviously it wasn't an easy decision to call time on my playing career though I'm looking forward to this new chapter and am grateful to Spurs for handing me this opportunity at such an exciting time in the Club's history.

“It is a great honour to represent the Club both as a coach and ambassador."
