Millwall sign Tottenham teenager on season-long loan
Tottenham Hotspur teenager Troy Parrott has signed for Championship side Millwall on a season-long loan.
The 18-year-old is Gary Rowett’s second signing of the summer after Ryan Woods re-joined the club on loan from Stoke after spending the second half of 2019/20 at The Den.
Parrott has been capped for the Republic of Ireland at Under-17, Under-19 and Under-21 level, scoring four goals for each. He made his full international debut in a friendly against New Zealand last year.
The Dublin-born striker made his Spurs debut in their EFL Cup tie against Colchester United, aged 17 years and 214 days old. He then his Premier League debut three months later against Burnley in a 5-0 win.
“I’m buzzing to get straight into things, I’m really looking forward to it,” Parrott told the club website. “The crowd, the club itself – I’ve heard a lot of good things. When I’ve watched games, the littlest of things gets them going, and I want to be a part of something like that.
“It’s not hard to see from the outside that all [the fans] are looking for is someone to give 100% every game. When I was growing up playing football, that was the player I always was, so I feel as though I can fit it very well. I’m really excited to get going, work hard and give everything for the fans.
“I’m really grateful to Spurs for letting me go out on loan and get some regular football. Hopefully I can improve a lot whilst at Millwall.”
The lions finished last season 8th in the Championship, just two points off the playoff spots.
