Andros Darryl Townsend (born 16 July 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right winger for Turkish Süper Lig club Antalyaspor.

After further limited appearances and then a half-season loan to Premier League club Queens Park Rangers, Townsend established himself as a Tottenham player between 2013 and 2015.

He subsequently fell out of favour at Tottenham, and following a short spell at Newcastle United in the 2015–16 season, he transferred to Crystal Palace in the summer of 2016.

[5] In March 2009, he went on loan to Yeovil Town,[6] making his football league debut against Milton Keynes Dons alongside fellow Spurs academy player Jonathan Obika.

[12] Having not yet made his Tottenham debut, on 14 January 2010, Townsend was again taken on loan by a League One club, Milton Keynes Dons, until the end of the season, although he was recalled after just two months due to injuries.

[11] On 12 August 2010, Townsend signed another season-long loan, moving up to the Championship level with Ipswich Town,[14] but this was terminated on 20 December, as Redknapp believed he had not been playing regularly enough.

[16] On 9 January 2011, Townsend made his senior Tottenham debut in a third round FA Cup tie at White Hart Lane against Charlton Athletic; he scored the first goal[17] and was voted Man of the Match.

[16] He joined Championship club Watford on 20 January 2011 on loan until the end of the season, but this was terminated early, on 23 February, with Townsend having made three appearances.

[22] Townsend remained with Tottenham for the first half of their 2012–13 season, with the club now under a new manager, André Villas-Boas, who replaced Redknapp in the summer.

[30] He scored his third Tottenham goal with a "superb low left-foot shot into the bottom corner from just outside the area" in a 3–0 victory against Carlisle United in the League Cup third round.

[31] On 31 January 2013, Townsend followed Redknapp to Premier League club Queens Park Rangers on loan until the end of the season.

[32] He made twelve appearances for the club, including a Man of the Match performance on his debut, scoring two goals in March, a dipping volley from outside the penalty area in a 3–1 win at home to Sunderland, and an equalising deflection in a 3–2 away loss to Aston Villa.

[42][43] On 4 November 2015, having not started a league match of the 2015–16 season, Townsend was dropped from the squad following a touchline argument with the club's fitness coach.

[46] On 26 January 2016, having still not started a league match, Tottenham agreed a transfer fee with Newcastle United for Townsend, reportedly £12 million.

On 1 July 2016, Townsend joined Premier League club Crystal Palace on a five-year contract from Newcastle following their relegation to the Championship.

[62] Townsend made his debut on 14 August 2021, assisting Richarlison's goal as Everton came from behind to beat Southampton 3–1 on the opening day of the season.

[64] On 20 March 2022, Townsend was forced off the pitch in the 16th minute of an eventual 4–0 loss against former club Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, and was later revealed to have suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

[66] Having left Everton in June 2023, Townsend spent preseason on trial at newly promoted Burnley as a free agent ahead of the 2023–24 season.

It was reported that contractual agreements had initially been made with Burnley, but these were later withdrawn prior to the start of the season, leaving Townsend without a club.

[66] Following the failed move to Burnley, Townsend began trials with Luton Town, also newly promoted to the Premier League.

[67] On 11 October 2023, he was officially signed by the club on a short-term contract until January 2024, making his debut 10 days later as a substitute in an away league match at Nottingham Forest.

[74] Townsend's first two appearances at under-19 level came in the group stage of the 2009 European Championship; he was an unused substitute in the final, which England lost to Ukraine.

[91] Townsend was filmed singing the song "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King with the rest of the Tottenham youth players in the dressing room, which became a popular internet video.
