Tottenham academy chief John McDermott is happy to see defender Calum Butcher playing on-loan at Barnet.

On the weekend, Butcher for Barnet in a 1-1 draw against high-flying Bournemouth in League Two.

McDermott told the Spurs website: "I'm delighted for Calum because it's been a bit of a mill stone around his neck," added John. "All his team-mates have made their debuts but he's suffered with illness and he's probably been green with envy as his peers play league football all over the country.

"Barnet needed a centre-half and their manager Ian Hendon spoke to us today (Wednesday) and was very complimentary about him."
