Career
Parker was a youth team player at Birmingham City, and although he progressed to become a regular in their reserves he never made the jump into the first team squad. He was released by Rovers in the summer of 2005 and returned to his native North East England to join Gateshead. He played seventeen times and scored once in half a season with them, before moving to Bishop Auckland, where he spent the remainder of the 2005-2006 campaign.
The following season he joined Horden Colliery Welfare, but after the manager left the club late in 2006 he was released.
He now works for his family run business in teesside and is a timed served joiner.
