Millwall have confirmed the signing of Tottenham<\/a> striker Troy Parrott<\/a> on a season-long loan.<\/p>\n

Milwall Sign Tottenham Striker Troy Parrott on Loan<\/h2>\n

Vital Experience<\/h3>\n

A move to the Championship will provide vital experience for the 18-year-old.<\/p>\n

Parrott his highly-rated by Tottenham. However, Jose Mourinho has been reluctant to use him regularly, citing his lack of experience.<\/p>\n

The Irishman made four appearances for the North London club last season, two of which came from the bench.<\/p>\n

As a result, a loan move will provide vital experience for Parrott, and will help aid his development.<\/p>\n

What Was Said?<\/h3>\n

Speaking about his new signing to the official Millwall website<\/a>, manager Gary Rowett said: “I’m really happy to get the deal over the line.<\/p>\n

“It took a lot of work, and Alex [Aldridge] and Steve [Kavanagh] have worked really hard to get it done.<\/p>\n

“There were a lot of clubs in The Championship, and beyond, who wanted Troy – that’s how highly he is regarded. We’re pleased that Tottenham, and Troy himself, chose us as the preferred option. I think that shows what we think we’ve got to offer, a) as a club, b) with fans, when they’re back, and c) the way the team is developing.<\/p>\n

“For a number of reasons, it’s a really important signing for us and I’m pleased to get it over the line.”<\/p>\n

Parrott added<\/a>: “I’m buzzing to get straight into things, I’m really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n
