Career

A product of Hartpury College, Parker joined Conference North club Gloucester City. He attracted the attention of Newport County following a 19-minute hat-trick for Gloucester in an FA Cup third qualifying match against Yate Town. Parker joined Newport in November 2013 and was loaned back to Gloucester City for the remainder of the 2012–13 season. ^[1] Parker had a further two loan spells with Gloucester City in September and December 2014. ^[2]

Parker made his Football League debut for Newport County in the League Two fixture versus Cambridge United on 17 January 2015 as a second-half substitute for Andy Sandell. Newport lost the match 4–0. He was released by Newport in May 2015 at the end of his contract. ^[3]

He signed for Chippenham Town in the summer of 2022, ending the campaign as the Bluebirds top goal scorer with 8 goals in 26 games from the wing. He then re-joined home City club Gloucester City in the summer of 2023.

On 4 July 2024 Tiverton Town announced that Parker had resigned permanently ahead of the new season. Parker enjoyed a loan spell the previous season from parent club Gloucester City. The former Newport County forward scored 11 times in 15 games at the end of a 2023-24 campaign that saw the Yellows retain their Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South status.
