IRELAND INTERNATIONAL Troy Parrott has left Tottenham to sign for Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in a reported €8 million deal.
The move ends seven years for the Dubliner with the North London outfit.
The 22-year-old originally signed for the Premier League side from Dublin schoolboy club Belvedere.
Parrott made a total of four senior appearances at Spurs. He had five loan spells while at the club, representing Millwall, Ipswich Town, MK Dons, Preston North End and Excelsior.
He had his most productive spell last season in the Dutch Eredivisie, scoring 10 goals in 25 league appearances, despite the team enduring the disappointment of losing a relegation playoff.
This form was enough to attract the attention of AZ, who finished fourth in the table last year and will compete in the Europa League during the forthcoming season.
Parrott is also expected to be an important player for new Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson — he has five goals in 23 appearances for his country since making his international debut in 2019.
Tottenham confirmed the news today, saying: “We wish Troy all the best for the future.”

You wouldn’t get that in their posh D4/little England schools with their cricket & hockey pitches, but don’t worry, your banker schoolmates are working on having lots of homeless 7 year olds in Ireland too.
Knob.
I grew up in D4 as did my friends. We never played cricket or went to Blackrock college. We all enjoyed soccer, GAA and played poker in Herbert park when the weather permitted.
Very true TFM.
And the award of the week for biggest asshat goes to….*drum roll*…YOU!
What a nice man you are Thomas Francis Meagher…
Blackrock College is not in D4 and they don’t play cricket…rugby yes, but not cricket. Terrible begrudgers…ps none of mine went there.
D4 isn’t a place, it’s a state of mind.
Lol!
Joan they do play cricket in Blackrock College.
Apologies Gary, my nephew went there and I never heard talk of cricket, many on here would be horrified to hear mine went to a school where they played cricket ha ha. Personally I never judge anyone by where they come from, and have always held the belief, and instilled it in my kids, that nobody is above them and equally nobody is below them. Judge the person.
Shocked by poverty in Ethiopia! What did they think Live Aid was all about?
They must have led really sheltered lives up to now.
What age is Leo Cullen these days? Must be pushing 80 odd surely??
