"Troy Parrott may have a name that elicits a bad avian joke, yet he is now certainly a centre forward who we should be taking more seriously and not just because of the quite frankly ridiculous impact he had for the Republic of Ireland in their vital World Cup qualifying wins. The 23-year-old Dubliner has been quietly and impressively rebuilding his career in the Netherlands over the past two and a half seasons."
"However, based on Parrott's attacking numbers in Holland - and the subsequent form he has taken into his international performances - perhaps the North London club wouldn't mind having him as an option in their squad right now. In his first season playing abroad, Parrott was pivotal in helping Excelsior avoid relegation from the Eredivisie, netting 17 goals and providing five assists in 32 appearances, including a 94th minute winner in the derby against Sparta Rotterdam in only his fourth game."
Troy Parrott scored two goals against Portugal and a hat-trick against Bulgaria, including a 95th-minute winner that sent the Republic of Ireland into the World Cup qualifying play-offs. The 23-year-old Dublin native has rebuilt his career in the Netherlands over two and a half seasons. He made only two Premier League appearances for Tottenham Hotspur in 2019/20, totaling six minutes, and spent four loan spells at Millwall, Ipswich Town, MK Dons and Preston North End. He moved on loan to Excelsior in summer 2023 and in his first season netted 17 goals and provided five assists in 32 appearances, helping the club avoid relegation.
