Career

Born in Enfield and of Jamaican descent,[4] Sterling attended Winchmore School and was in the youth programme at Leyton Orient until Tottenham signed him on 1 July 2015.[5] He represented Tottenham in youth level competitions and played in the EFL Trophy against AFC Wimbledon and Barnet. On 6 December 2017 he made his competitive senior debut for the club, coming on as an 88th-minute substitute for Dele Alli in Spurs' final Champions League group game against APOEL Nicosia, a 3–0 win at Wembley Stadium.[6]

Loans

In the January 2019 transfer window Sterling was loaned out to Sunderland for the remainder of the season.[7] He made his EFL League One debut on 2 February 2019 in a 1–0 home win over AFC Wimbledon, as a 59th-minute substitute for Charlie Wyke.[8] Sterling scored his first senior goal on 3 April 2019 in a 3–0 away win against Accrington Stanley.[9]

In August 2019 Sterling went out on a season's loan to Doncaster Rovers.[10] He scored his first goal for Doncaster when he scored in an EFL Trophy tie against Lincoln City on 3 September 2019.[11]

After the Doncaster deal was cut short due to injury, Sterling signed for League Two club Leyton Orient on a six-month loan.[12]
