Spurs’ Troy parrots Kane’s Millwall move
Tottenham teenager Troy Parrott has followed in the footsteps of Harry Kane by joining Millwall on loan.
The 18-year-old Republic of Ireland striker will spend next season in south London after making four first-team appearances for Spurs last term.
“I’m buzzing to get straight into things, I’m really looking forward to it,” Parrott said. “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.
“It’s not hard to see from the outside that all (the fans) are looking for is someone to give 100% every game.”
England captain Kane spent the second half of the 2011-12 season on loan at Millwall, scoring nine goals in 27 appearances.
“Hopefully I can have a good experience and follow his experience and go back and play in the Premier League,” Dublin-born Parrott said.
“Hopefully I can push on and buy into it for the season that I’m here.
“I’m really grateful to Spurs for letting me go out on loan and get some regular football. Hopefully I can improve a lot while I’m at Millwall.”
Crawley Town have signed Tyler Frost on a two-year deal following his release from Reading.
The 21-year-old midfielder did not make a first-team appearance at Reading but played for Havant & Waterlooville in the National League during the 2018-19 season.
Crawley head coach John Yems said: “He spent three or four weeks training with us before lockdown and he did well.
“He played at a good level before with Reading and once again he could be a good addition to the squad.”
The Red Devils later made former Brighton full-back Archie Davies their second signing of the day.
The 21-year-old has agreed a two-year deal with the option of a third following his release by the Seagulls.
Davies told the club website: “I’ve had good experience in the men’s game in different competitions with Brighton so I am ready to test myself in the Football League.”
Boss Yems said: “I saw Archie last year, he could be a top player for us, with experience of being at Brighton over the last eight years, he’ll be a good contender to challenge for spaces.”
