Tottenham youngster was reportedly involved in pre-season training with the first team.
Tottenham Hotspur’s decision to hand Jack Roles a new contract last month came as a relief to fans.
The attacking midfielder netted 11 goals last season at academy level, scoring for the under-23s and in the EFL Trophy.
Prior to his late new contract offer, his deal had been set to expire. Now as his new two-year deal begins, he has had an excellent opportunity.
Football London report Roles featured in first team training for Tottenham on the first day back, along with six other youngsters.
They were called up to help make up numbers, with first team players arriving back at staggered dates.
Nonetheless, it is a chance Roles will have been waiting for to catch Mauricio Pochettino’s eye.
His first step is to earn a spot on Tottenham’s tour squad.
Roles’ most likely route this season is to be sent out on loan, but this will be plotted out in the coming weeks.
If he continues to get chances, and take them, he may yet spring a surprise.
