Jay-Roy Grot exits Leeds United for second loan spell in Netherlands

Jay-Roy Grot will play for Vitesse Arnhem next season after Leeds United confirmed their second exit of the summer.

The 21-year-old was first brought to Elland Road for an undisclosed fee in August 2017 from NEC Nijmegen and went on to make 23 appearances, with one Championship start.

After a difficult first campaign, Grot was sent out on loan for the first time last summer, where a season of regular football followed with VVV-Venlo.

Grot will return to Eredivisie for the full 2019/20 season with Vitesse, which is also his hometown club in the Netherlands.

A club statement said: “Jay-Roy Grot has joined Eredivisie side Vitesse on a season long loan.

“The powerful forward joined United from NEC in the summer of 2017 and enjoyed a spell at VVV-Venlo during the 2018/19 campaign, going on to make his Netherlands under-21 debut in November last year.

“We wish Jay-Roy good luck for the upcoming season.”

Grot’s exit follows Paudie O’Connor’s permanent departure for Bradford City.
