Troy Parrott had a mixed season on loan with Preston North End last year, but is looking for a more successful campaign this time round.
The Tottenham Hotspur striker joined Eredivisie side Excelsior on loan in the summer, and has started life in the Netherlands superbly, with two goals in just 49 minutes on the pitch so far.
The Republic of Ireland international has had to settle for a place on the bench in his four games to date, but has made an impact from it, scoring two goals already.
His first goal was the icing on the cake in a 3-0 win over SC Heerenveen, but his second goal is one that will stick in the memory books.
Excelsior hosted neighbours Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday and with the scores level at 1-1, Parrott was brought on in the 82nd minute as the hosts pushed for a winner.
Troy found himself in plenty of space on the end of a counter attack, as his first time finish in the dying embers of the game, sent the Excelsior fans wild.
Excelsior find themselves in fifth place in the Dutch top flight, with 12 points from the opening seven games.
Parrott is already halfway to matching his total goal tally for Preston last season. The 21-year-old scored one goal in the Carabao Cup and three in the league. He always looked like a talented player at Deepdale but didn’t seem to have much confidence in front of goal.
There’s no doubting he has plenty of ability, and his link up play at times was wonderful. An lengthy injury didn’t help his cause at Preston, and he was also outshone by Tom Cannon, but it wouldn’t surprise many if he was to kick on with his career now.
He could join the likes of Lukas Nmecha and Stephy Mavididi as attackers who have gone from strength to strength after loan spells at Preston North End. Although you could see Nmecha had tremendous talent, neither of the aforementioned found the net regularly but are now key players for Wolfsburg and Leicester City respectively.
