Bright future ahead! 16-year-old Irish sensation signs first contract with Spurs

Troy Parrott is one of Ireland’s brightest prospects.

IRELAND U17 STAR Troy Parrott has signed his first contract at Tottenham.

You may recognise his name as a key component to Colin O’Brien’s side who had an impressive run at the Uefa U17 Championship earlier this year.

16-year-old striker Parrott rattled the net three times through that campaign, before it came to a heartbreaking end following a controversial penalty shootout loss to the Dutch.

The Spurs sensation brought the game to spot kicks with a vital second-half equaliser, and then converted his penalty but the Boys in Green were denied progression to the semi-final.

Despite that, Parrott caught the eye throughout the tournament and has continued to turn heads since.

The Dubliner is a product of schoolboy club Belvedere FC, and reached an agreement with Spurs last year. He linked up with the London outfit full-time in June and will play for their U18 side.
