Former MK Dons loanee Troy Parrott has left Spurs after signing a deal to join Dutch side AZ Alkmaar.

The 22-year-old Irish international has joined the Dutch side for an undisclosed fee reported by the BBC to be worth around 8 million Euros, and has signed a 5-year contract.

The result will see Parrott remain based in the Netherlands, with the Irishman having spent last season on loan with Excelsior Rotterdam.

A transfer will see Parrott leaves Spurs on a permanent basis, departing a club he first joined as a teenager in 2017.

Parrott previously spent the 2021/22 season on loan with MK Dons, playing regular football for a side that finished third in that season’s League One.

He scored 10 goals in 47 appearances in all competitions, including a late equaliser against AFC Wimbledon and a goal on his final appearance for MK Dons in the play-offs against Wycombe Wanderers.

Since leaving the Dons, Parrott spent time on loan with Preston and then with Excelsior. For the latter, he scored 17 goals in 32 appearances in all competitions last season.

He was unable to help keep the Rotterdam-based side in the top flight as they lost a relegation play-off to NAC Breda, despite Parrott scoring in a 6-2 first leg defeat and then a hat-trick in a 4-1 second leg win as the Roodzwarten mounted an unsuccessful comeback.

In his time, he has also earned 23 caps for the Irish national side, scoring 5 goals.

Parrott is one of multiple former MK Dons players on the move or speculated to be on the move this summer. Rumours have linked the likes of Scott Twine, Matt O’Riley and Brandon Thomas-Asante with moves, while Oxford have signed ex-Dons duo Jamie Cumming and Peter Kioso as they prepare for the Championship.
