Edit ProfileCareer
His career was interrupted by World War I and once League football had been resumed in 1919-1920 Parkes had lost his place in the side. He left for Stoke in July 1920 however he failed to make much of an impact and after making just six appearances in 1920-1921 he left for Welsh side Llanelly. He then moved to Rochdale where he spent six seasons making 219 appearances for the "Dale" before ending his career with Macclesfield.
