Career

In 2011, Parsons joined Swindon Town's academy after trialling with Reading and Swindon, signing a scholarship with the club in 2019.[2] On 13 November 2019, Parsons made his debut for the club in a 1–0 EFL Trophy loss against Bristol Rovers.[3] On 14 May 2021 it was announced that he had been offered a new contract and it was confirmed as signed the following month.[4][5]

On 12 November 2021, Parsons joined National League South side Chippenham Town on a one-month loan deal.[6] Against the Dorking Wanderers he scored three goals within 7 minutes. On 10 December 2021, the loan was extended for a further month.[7]

On 26 August 2022, Parsons joined National League North club Banbury United on loan until January 2023.[8] Parsons was recalled on 13 October.[9] On 29 October, Parsons returned for a second loan spell with Chippenham Town.[10] In February 2023, he joined Farnborough on loan until the end of the season.[11] Swindon released Parsons at the end of the 2022-23 season.[12]

Parsons joined Maidenhead United for the 2023-24 season.[13] On 14 November 2023 he joined Banbury United on a one-month loan.[14] When this loan expired, he then joined Weymouth on another 28-day loan.[15]

Style of play

Swindon under-18's manager David Farrell has labelled Parsons as "raw" and "a pest" up front.[16]
