The Dubliner is earning plaudits for his performances in the Eredivisie this season.
The striker scored the opener against Almere to make it 1-0 on Friday night. Unfortunately for Parrott and Excelsior, the home side came back to win the game 2-1 thanks to Stiji Resink strike and an own goal from Casper Widell.
The 21-year-old signed for Excelsior on a season long loan from Tottenham Hotspur after been deemed surplus to requirements by Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou.
