A spell out of the team followed, but Parrott has re-established himself since the end of January and hasn’t played less than 70 minutes in any league games played since.“I’ve seen he’s said that and I agree with it”, says Parrott. “I think it’s just realising some stuff and growing up as a person and as a player.
Ultimately I think people go on loan to improve as a player and hope that it develops them in the long run, and seeing what League One and Championship is like is really good. I thought the levels would be a lot different when I first went out on loan but it turns out they’re not. The Championship is a really tough league and so is League One but I am just happy I am out and getting game time. “The last couple of pre-seasons I have done at Spurs so it is just picking up little things.
“I’m not really worried on that to be fair. I’m out, I am playing a lot of games and gathering as much experience as I can and hopefully it will do me the world of good when I get back.”DIFFERENTLY Get closer to the stories that matter with exclusive analysis, insight and debate in The42 Membership.Parrott is given the match ball by his then-manager Jose Mourinho after his Premier League debut.
