Truthfully, that would have been too much for him at that age, but there is still a lot of time for him to make the grade there.<\/p>\n<p>His loan spell to Millwall last season was expected to be the point where he showed what he could do, but it didn&#8217;t quite go to plan and he only made 14 appearances across all competitions before ending the spell early and going back to Tottenham in January.<\/p>\n<p>He then dropped down a division to join Ipswich and made a respectable 18 appearances in League One, scoring two goals during that time as the Tractor Boys struggled to a mid-table finish.<\/p>\n<p>At MK Dons, he will be part of a team eyeing up the promotion (or play-off, at least) spots and the style of play used under <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/07\/29\/russell-martin-swansea-city-mk-dons\/\" target=\"_self\">Russell Martin<\/a> will give him plenty of opportunities to score &#8211; it will just be down to him to finish them.<\/p>\n<h3>Competition<\/h3>\n<p>MK Dons have recruited heavily in the forward positions this summer. Carlton Morris left for Barnsley in January, Cameron Jerome went to Luton Town after not signing a new deal and Will Grigg returned to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/07\/23\/sunderland-lodge-another-bid-for-exeter-city-starlet-josh-key\/\" target=\"_self\">Sunderland<\/a> at the end of his loan.<\/p>\n<p>Their first forward signing was the addition of Max Watters on loan from<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/06\/24\/carabao-cup-draw-cardiff-city-v-sutton-united-and-more-big-ties\/\" target=\"_self\"> Cardiff City<\/a> and they then added Mohamed Eisa after he signed on a long-term deal from Peterborough United.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Charlie Brown remains from last season, Josh Martin is an option despite being more likely to play at wing-back in this system, and youngster Jay Bird has had an excellent pre-season.<\/p>\n<p>Parrott&#8217;s addition to this group is welcome and will provide excellent competition as well as undoubted quality when he gets time on the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"XnU2teOVTBd_6YmtpN6-7g\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1329909687\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'XnU2teOVTBd_6YmtpN6-7g',sig:'WvFQkSZ6obAg85tvmZnbNDPAoPWPKDfLmKYiiIEkur8=',w:'594px',h:'368px',items:'1329909687',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham Hotspur striker Troy Parrott has joined League One side MK Dons on a season-long loan.
