Parrott netted 17 goals in 32 games in all competitions for struggling Excelsior Rotterdam last season as they were relegated from the Dutch top flight.

He ends his seven-year spell with Spurs, having joined them back in 2017 as a 15-year-old from Irish side Belvedere. He made just four senior appearances for North London club.

The Republic of Ireland international now joins Maarten Martens' side, who finished fourth in the Eredivisie last season and will play Europa League football in 2024/25. 

On signing for AZ, he said: "I think AZ is the perfect club for me to take the next steps in my development. 

"It helps me that I already played in the Netherlands last season and am therefore used to the competition and life here."

Parrott spent five loan spells away from Spurs, including his stint at Ipswich, where he scored twice in 18 games during the second half of the 2020/21 season.
