Dominic Ball (born 2 August 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. He plays primarily as a centre back, however, Ball can also play as a defensive midfielder or at full-back.

Club career

Ball was born in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. A Tottenham Hotspur youth graduate, he joined the club's youth setup in 2011 from Watford[1] and appeared in 17 matches during his first campaign, scoring one goal.[2]

Ball appeared with the under-18s and with the under-21s in 2013–14, being also named on the bench in a 2–2 UEFA Europa League away draw against Benfica on 20 March 2014.[3] He was also an unused substitute in two further matches for Spurs in 2014–15, a 1–0 home win against Partizan and a 2–1 away win against Hull City.

On 22 January 2015, Ball was loaned to League Two side Cambridge United until the end of the season.[4] He made his professional debut five days later, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Dagenham & Redbridge.[5] He was used mainly as a right-back, making two assists[6][7] in his time at the club.

On 14 August 2015, Ball signed a season-long loan deal to Scottish Championship team Rangers from Tottenham Hotspur, reuniting with his Watford academy manager Mark Warburton.[1]

International career

After being capped by Northern Ireland in the under-15, under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels, Ball switched his allegiance to England in 2013.[2] He has represented England up to U-20 level, making six appearances at that level.

Personal life

Ball has an older brother, Matt, who is also a footballer, while his father Tim was academy business manager at Watford.[1][8]
