Darren Bent

He is a product of Ipswich Town's youth academy. He was named the Premiership Player of The Month in 2005-06.

Darren Ashley Bent (born February 6, 1984 in Tooting, London) is an English footballer, currently playing for Tottenham Hotspur.
There is some confusion over Bent's birthplace with nearly all biographies available - typically of a brief nature - saying he was born in Cambridge; however, The FA's profile says he was born in Tooting. This confusion may stem from the fact he moved to Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, as a child, where he attended Hinchingbrooke School.
On 29 June 2007 he completed a move to Tottenham Hotspur for a club record fee of £16.5million which will be payable over three years and is inclusive of add on payments. Ipswich Town are reported to have a sell-on clause giving them 20% of any profit for this prospective deal, together with two payments of £200K should he make two competitive England appearances. After Bent's transfer to Tottenham, the fee given to Ipswich was quoted as £2.58m on the Charlton Athletic website. He scored his first goal for Tottenham in a friendly match against Stevenage Borough in their first pre-season fixture of their 2007-08 season.
Bent was first called up to the England senior team for the August 17, 2005 friendly against Denmark. He was then called into the full England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Wales and Northern Ireland.
After being called up to the squad for a fourth time, Bent made his England debut on March 1, 2006, starting against Uruguay at Anfield in a pre-World Cup friendly match (he wore the number 10 shirt). On 8 May 2006, Bent was omitted from England's World Cup squad. Since, he has been a regular in the England squad.
Bent has also represented England at Under-19 level with 8 goals in 12 appearances, and at Under-21 level with 9 goals in 14 appearances. Despite having played for the senior side he was recalled to the U21 squad for the October 2006 qualification playoffs against Germany. Due to an injury to Andrew Johnson shortly after the squad's announcement, Bent was recalled to the senior squad.
