Tottenham Hotspur has confirmed that Harvey White has left the club on a permanent basis to join League One side Stevenage, with the move arriving late on transfer deadline day.
Harvey White progressed through Tottenham’s youth system and made his way to the fringes of the Lilywhites’ senior squad. White made three first-team appearances for Spurs during his time at the club (Transfermarkt).
The young midfielder has already received valuable experience in League One over the last few years. White spent the 2021/22 season on loan with Portsmouth and also spent the second part of last year at Derby County.
With new manager Ange Postecoglou arriving at Tottenham this summer, there was always the possibility that White would have continued and established himself in the Australian coach’s plans for the upcoming season. However, the 21-year-old was unable to break into the first team this season.

The Sun also mentioned White as one of the players Spurs were willing to sell this summer, but the player has yet to find a new club during the transfer window.
A move to Stevenage occurred amid the craziness of deadline day for White, who now departs his boyhood club in pursuit of regular first-team play.
According to the club’s statement, “we wish Harvey all the best for the future.”
Spurs Online Opinion
It’s a shame to see Harvey White go because he was always a dedicated and skilled young athlete. Unfortunately, it appears that he was not quite ready for the first team at Spurs, therefore the decision was made to part ways in the best interests of all parties.
We’ll be keeping a watch on how he does at Stevenage, and maybe he can blossom now that he has more game time.
