and live on Freeview channel 276
Dutch forward Grot signed for the Whites in August 2017 from NEC Nijmegan on a four-year-deal under former boss Thomas Christiansen.
Signed as a 19-year-old, the Netherlands Under-17s and Under 19s international then made his Whites debut in the 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest, just two days after he had signed.

Following the appointment of Marcelo Bielsa as head coach, Grot then joined VVV Venlo on a season-long loan in July 2018.
The striker then returned to the Whites the following summer but headed out on another season-long loan to Vitesse.
But now Grot has left Leeds on a permanent basis by signing a deal with Osnabruck that runs until the summer of 2022.
