Andros Townsend provides a familiar story for young players at big clubs.

It has been hard for the Tottenham winger to make his mark at White Hart Lane so has been loaned out on several occasions to give his career a platform for take-off.

Townsend, 21, now finds himself out on loan at Queens Park Rangers where he will be hoping to make his mark and leave an impression in the Premier League.

In this series and in the next few weeks, we will be looking at a few Combos which are great double acts in British football and those which could work in the future.

Our new Vauxhall campaign recognises the value of a great partnership on the pitch in our Combo series.

We'd love you, our readers, to get involved and tell us what you think of players: whether they are world class or how they fare against their opponents.

This week we're looking at one of England's best prospects: Andros Townsend

Andros Townsend is just 21 - but is already onto his TENTH club.

England under-21 international Townsend joined Tottenham at the age of nine, the Essex boy is a product of the club's academy and yet has been loaned out from White Hart Lane to give him valuable first team experience elsewhere.

Townsend has made a handful of appearances for Tottenham but has also been loaned to Yeovil, Leyton Orient, Milton Keynes Dons, Ipswich Town, Watford, Millwall, Leeds, Birmingham and has now gone to Queens Park Rangers.

Winger Townsend has had varying degrees of success through the divisions but is now being given a chance in the Premier League.

It will be a huge test for Townsend as he is being pitched straight into a desperate battle against relegation for Rangers.

But it is a chance to link up again with his former boss from Tottenham, Harry Redknapp, who knows him from their days together at White Hart Lane and clearly believes he can help QPR's cause.

Townsend is naturally left footed, he often plays from the right so he can cut inside and cause problems with his stronger foot.

It is a bold move from QPR but it will be interesting to see whether Townsend can sink or swim in the Premier League. A relegation battle will probably be the ultimate acid test.

But either way, Townsend will be hoping a loan spell, QPR and Redknapp will be the perfect Combo to get his career really moving in the top flight.

We would welcome your comments, views and which players would make a good Combo.
