Brandon Austin | Early Life and Family
Brandon Austin was born on January 8, 1999, to middle-class parents. His father Neville Austin is a former English international basketball player and consequently, Brandon has been in love with football since childhood and used to play a lot during his youth days.

The player unexpectedly left the Chelsea youth academy during his early years and joined the Tottenham Hotspur academy, following in his father’s footsteps.

Austin has been waiting patiently for the right opportunity for him to break through into Tottenham’s starting lineup.
Brandon Austin | Club Career
Tottenham Youth Academy
In Austin’s first year at Tottenham, he made just 5 appearances for the U18 side but in his very second season, he went on to be a crucial part of the U18 team along with the U23 team, participating in the English second division and the UEFA Youth League. After impressing in the pre-season, Austin was deployed as a permanent goalkeeper for the U23 side in the 2017-18 season, with a few squad call-ups for the first team as well.
During the 2019–20 season, Austin often travelled with the first team as an emergency third-choice goalkeeper. He was also named Tottenham’s backup goalkeeper for the first time on October 19, 2019 against Watford as a backup to Paulo Gazzaniga after a recent injury to Hugo Lloris. Austin made a total of 78 appearances for the youth team and also captained the side in the UEFA Youth League 2019–20. But Austin needed experience and exposure to higher division football, which he was certainly not getting at Spurs.
Viborg FF
So, after signing a new two-and-a-half-year contract extension with the club in December 2019, Austin was loaned out to Danish second-division side Viborg FF for the second half of the season. At Viborg, although the player got minutes as Austin featured in 14 matches for the Danish side, he was not able to perform on a high level with just one clean sheet in all the matches.
Orlando City
After making no appearances in the first six months of the 2020–21 season for Tottenham, Austin was again loaned out to MLS club Orlando City on January 22, 2021 for six months, with the option of extending the contract for another six months. After being on the bench in the initial months at Orlando, Austin made his debut for the club on June 19, 2021, in a 3-2 win against Toronto FC, replacing regular starter Pedro Gallese, who went on international duty in the 2021 Copa America.
Austin played all five games in Gallese’s absence, managing to keep one clean sheet while conceding 8 goals. After the end of his 6-month tenure at Orlando, the club decided not to extend the loan spell.
Tottenham
Austin returned to Tottenham on July 31, 2021, to look forward to the new season with the Spurs. Since then, Austin has been traveling with Tottenham’s senior team squad on many occasions but has yet to make his debut for the club’s first team.
