What happened to ex Tottenham defender Danny Rose and where is he now?
FORMER Tottenham Hotspur star Danny Rose has gone through it all from Champions League finals to relegations.
But after leaving Watford in 2022, the 32-year-old has turned his hand to punditry.
Who is Danny Rose?
Daniel Lee Rose is an English professional footballer born on July 2, 1990.
He started his professional career at Leeds United in 2006.
He later left to join Tottenham Hotspur in July 2007 having never played for Leeds.
But having failed to break into the first team, he joined Watford on loan in March 2009, making seven appearances before joining Peterborough United on loan the following September.
Rose then returned to Tottenham and made his debut for the latter club having made six appearances for Peterborough.
But as he was unable to establish himself as a regular player, he joined Bristol City on loan in September 2010 and made 17 appearances.
Although he became more involved in the Tottenham team during the 2011–12 season, making 20 appearances in all competitions, he spent the following season on loan to Sunderland, where he made 29 appearances.
What happened to Danny Rose?
Rose was paid £70,000 a week while at Spurs in the 2019-20 season.
He was snubbed by Jose Mourinho as he was frozen out of their Premier League squad and joined Newcastle United on load for the rest of the season.
After being left out in the cold at Spurs, Rose signed for Watford but struggled to make an impact by only playing 11 times.
Following Watford’s relegation to the Championship, his contract was terminated.
The club confirmed the news via a statement on their website.
They said: “Watford FC and Danny Rose have agreed a mutual cancellation of the defender’s contract with both parties in agreement that their futures will head in different directions.
“The Hornets thank Danny – who featured nine times last season in addition to the seven games on loan he played in 2008/09 – for his service and wish him well for his next opportunity.”
Where is Danny Rose now?
The 32-year-old is now a free agent and was spotted training with non-league side York City to boost his fitness in March (2023) as he awaits his professional football return.
He has also been doing punditry work for Sky Sports.
