Stephen Kenny confident Troy Parrott can make impact for Ireland Under-21s

Stephen Kenny is confident Tottenham striker Troy Parrott has a major contribution to make as the Republic of Ireland attempt to defy the odds and qualify for the European Under-21 Championships.

The 17-year-old striker marked his debut with the only goal in Friday night’s 1-0 victory over Armenia at Tallaght Stadium which left Ireland with six points from their opening two fixtures.
