Roles, whose mother is Cypriot , had a very good year with Tottenham’s U18s, scoring 16 goals and notching four assists in just over 1700 minutes of action. That makes him the top scorer in the U18 through U23 teams, and tied for third most goals of any player in England’s U18 Premier League with 15. That’s a pretty incredible achievement considering he plays mostly as a central midfielder.
Jack’s father is English and his mother of Cypriot origin her parents from Nicosia and Famagusta.
Jack was Born and bred in Enfield and attended Enfield Grammar School, winning a host of trophies while playing for the school football team. He also represented the school at cricket and athletics and has been at Tottenham since he was six.
