YBIG 12
Troy Parrott’s loan spells away from parent club Tottenham Hotspur have been summed up in the space of just a few seconds. Playing against Norwich City on October 8th, the Republic of Ireland international was initially the hero, scoring the winning goal in the dying minutes. His first league goal for the club. While celebrating that strike, the Preston North End man damaged his hamstring and is set to be out for the foreseeable future.
Uncertain Times
Troy Parrott’s injury news is a blow for both his parent club and his loan side. Despite struggling for goals across the start of the season, Preston are very much in the hunt for a promotion playoff place. The club has managed to compensate for that lack of firepower by keeping things tight at the back. After 14 games of the Championship season, PNE have scored just eight times, but they’ve only conceded on eight occasions.
While he’s not the only man responsible for finding the target, Troy Parrott’s inability to find the net saw him dropped to the subs’ bench. His only goal for Preston, prior to that late intervention against Norwich, came in the 4-1 EFL Cup win over Huddersfield Town.
Followers of Irish football will be aware of his potential, but Parrott needs to deliver and, in that respect, his injury couldn’t have come at a worse time.
Preston Targets
They may not be the most exciting team to watch, but that ability to stay strong in defence keeps Preston in touch with the promotion playoff places. They are very much an outside bet, but there is some interest in the team at mid-range odds.
As a global sport, football lists markets from all over the world and each Kuwait betting site follows a similar pattern. The favourites to go up are the teams currently at the top of the table with Burnley, Sheffield United and Norwich City leading the way.
Those odds are supplied by sportsbooks associated with ArabianBetting.com and they are available in Kuwait and across the globe. No matter where readers are based, they can access the figures while taking into account breaking news, opinion articles and handy betting guides.
Kuwaiti sites are generally open to worldwide customers and it’s possible to sign up, subject to eligibility. Many sites kick things off with a generous welcome package and will often follow up with ongoing promotions.
To get the account moving, there is a range of funding options available. Customer services will step in if needed and there will be other benefits to look forward to.
Depending on the bookmaker in question, in-play betting, mobile apps and the potential for live streaming domestic and international football will be listed.
It’s a useful site for any form of football betting but, while Preston remain in promotion contention, it’s unclear whether Troy Parrott will contribute moving forward.
What Next for Troy Parrott?
In instances where a severe injury strikes, it’s often the case that a player will return to his parent club. While there’s yet to be any confirmation from Tottenham Hotspur, it’s likely that Troy Parrott will remain at Preston for now.
The unusual timing of the 2022/23 football season is in his favour. The World Cup will take out four weeks of the domestic campaign and some optimistic reports suggest that the player may be fit to return when the tournament comes to an end.
If that is the case, Preston North End would likely employ the player’s services again in the New Year. If the hamstring prognosis is worse than expected, Parrot may yet be back at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
He’s still only 20 years old but Troy Parrott has reached something of a crossroads in his career. After making his debut for Spurs under Jose Mourinho in 2019, he’s not featured regularly, but that’s no great surprise when the prolific Harry Kane is in the team.
Since then, he’s been on loan to four lower league clubs. His goals to games ratio isn’t impressive, but Parrott enjoyed a productive end to his previous spell at MK Dons.
As and when he does return to the pitch, Troy Parrott will need to finally deliver on his potential and find the net on a regular basis.
