The surprise player in action for Tottenham U21s as wish under Jose Mourinho is fulfilled

There was a familiar face in a Tottenham shirt when an Under-21s side took on Enfield Town in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday. The youngsters were 3-1 down just after the hour mark and Nile John's 67th minute goal could only help his side end the game 3-2.

The unlikely player in amongst the starting XI for Spurs was Danny Rose. The 32-year-old played just over an hour for the young side, before being replaced with John.

In the last week or so, reports have revealed that the former Tottenham man has been training at Hotspur Way, despite still being under contract with Watford. Rose made just eight Premier League appearances for The Hornets last season and hasn't featured for them since the end of December.
