Career

[edit]

Parkes joined West Ham United from Crystal Palace in January 2018.[2] In August 2020, Parkes joined Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard on a three-year deal.[3] In October 2020, he joined Eerste Divisie side Dordrecht on a season-long loan deal.[4] On 18 October 2020, Parkes made his professional league debut as a substitute in a 2–2 draw with Almere City.[5] Parkes played twice for Southern Combination Premier Division side AFC Varndeanians after joining the club in November 2021.[6]

After nearly 3 years out of the game, Parkes returned to playing in 2024 with brief spells at Phoenix Sports and Holmesdale, before moving to Gibraltar in the summer to join Glacis United. He made his debut on 17 August 2024, assisting two goals in a 4–0 win over Europa Point.[7] After a season disrupted by injury in which he scored 3 goals in 11 games, Parkes was signed by FCB Magpies in July 2025, being named in their squad for their 2025–26 UEFA Conference League campaign.[8]
