Early career and move to Sheffield United

Raised in Strabane, Northern Ireland, Parkhouse played with Maiden City's Academy in Derry[2] and impressed enough to earn a move to the Academy at English club Sheffield United. He was named on the bench for the first team squad for the first time in August 2018, remaining an unused substitute in an EFL Cup game against Hull City.[3]
