Tom Rosenthal (born 30 September 1996 in London) is a Belgian footballer who currently plays for Queens Park Rangers.
Career
Rosenthal was in the youth system of English club Watford from the age of 10. His father, 60-cap Israel international Ronny, finished his career in 1999 after two seasons at the club, following seven years playing in the English top flight. Between the ages of 13 and 15 Rosenthal had problems following a growth spurt. He started a two-year scholarship at the start of the 2013–14 season and travelled with the first-team for their FA Cup fixture with Bristol City in January 2014.
On 1 September 2014 Watford announced Rosenthal had moved for an undisclosed fee to Belgian Pro League side S.V. Zulte Waregem in order for him to be closer to an ill family member, signing a two-year professional contract. However, his brother and agent Dean subsequently announced that the main reason Rosenthal had left was due to the prospect of first-team football.
He made his first team debut with S.V. Zulte Waregem on 21 January 2015 in the Belgian Cup in a 4-2 away defeat against R.S.C. Anderlecht. He played 58 minutes, before being substituted by Ghislain Gimbert.
