Parker`s early career included spells as an 18-year-old at Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City before spending the 2013/14 season at Hayes & Yeading United.

After playing in Portugal, the now 27-year-old returned to the UK and signed for Hellenic League side Highmoor-Ibis in 2015 (since re-named Reading City), where he spent three successful seasons.

He joined Basingstoke Town in October 2018 from where he joined Hartley Wintney for his first spell with the North Hampshire outfit.

He originally joined The Row in December 2018 and contributed towards a good second half to the 2018/19 campaign.

He left in August 2019 and spent time with Bracknell Town and Reading City before re-joining in January 2020.

He left again last summer and re-joined Hellenic League Reading City and spent a short spell with Flackwell Heath before returning again to Hartley Wintney in October 2021, making 11 appearances and scoring 4 goals.

In late 2018, Parker also had the honour of captaining an ‘ambassadorial’ FA England squad in the Falkland Islands, scoring in one of two games played there.
