Jermain Colin Defoe (born 7 October 1982 in Beckton, London) is an English footballer who currently plays as a striker for English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and the England national team.
Defoe began his career with Charlton Athletic, joining their youth team at age fourteen, before moving to West Ham United aged sixteen, and rising through the ranks.
He made his professional debut for West Ham in 2000, and after a season-long loan spell at Bournemouth during the 2000–01 season, established himself in the West Ham lineup. A move to Tottenham in 2004 soon followed, and Defoe also spent a year at Portsmouth after he was deemed surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane. He has since returned to Tottenham in the January 2009 transfer window.
Defoe made his England debut in 2004 and as of August 2009, has made 36 appearances, scoring 10 goals.
