Parrock made her debut for the Republic of Ireland women's national under-19 football team in August 2006, as a 14-year-old player with Rosslare Rangers of the Wexford League. [9] In October 2006 she was selected for the Republic of Ireland women's national under-17 football team as a Kilmore United player. [10]

In 2017 Parrock had tired of camogie and decided to "step back" from inter-county competition. She accepted an offer to join Wexford Youths in June 2017, [11] after being inspired by watching the club's 2015 FAI Women's Cup final win at the Aviva Stadium on television. [12] Although she had continued to play soccer with Kilmore United to maintain fitness in the camogie off-seasons, she had to undertake intensive training to meet the higher standard at Wexford Youths. [12] [13]

In 2018 Parrock helped Wexford Youths secure a domestic "treble", being named Player of the Match and scoring the only goal in the FAI Women's Cup final win over Peamount United at the Aviva Stadium. [14] In January 2019 she signed for Wexford Youths for another season. [15] She did not remain for the delayed 2020 season, seeking a new challenge elsewhere. [16]

Parrock expressed irritation after sexist trolling facilitated by the Hogan Stand website came to her attention in August 2020. [17] At that stage she was playing for Dublin non-League club Terenure Rangers. [18] The material related to an incident seven years previously, whereupon Parrock's physical attractiveness came to national attention when she appeared on television in some denim shorts while nursing a broken arm and serving as Wexford camogie's water girl. [19] After a dalliance with playing rugby union, [20] Parrock returned to the Wexford senior camogie panel in May 2021. [21]
