Troy Parrott has joined Dutch Eredivisie side Excelsior Rotterdam on loan for the remainder of the 2023/24 season.
Parrott has earned 20 senior Ireland caps, with four goals to his name.
Excelsior Rotterdam are currently sixth in the Eredivisie after four games — they drew 2-2 with Ajax last weekend — and finished 15th out of 18 teams last season.
“Last week I had discussions with trainer Marinus Dijkhuizen and technical manager Niels Van Duinen. The story they told appealed to me,” Parrott told the official Excelsior website.
“The way Excelsior play football and the ambitions of the club suit me. I have also obtained information from others and I think football in the Netherlands is more technical than in the English Championship.
“I think that way of playing football suits me and that’s why I think Excelsior is the right choice for me now.”
