Parker started his career at Queens Park Rangers. In January 2010 he joined Conference National club AFC Wimbledon on loan.[2][3] He made just two substitute appearances for the club. On 10 April 2010 he made his League Championship debut, replacing Adel Taarabt as a last minute substitute, in a 2–0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.[4] He got his first start two weeks later in a 1–0 win at Barnsley.[5] At the end of the season, manager Neil Warnock offered the youngster a new one year deal.[6] In October 2010 he joined League Two club Northampton Town on a month-long loan.[7] He made only three appearances for the club and returned to QPR a week before the end of his contract.[8] Parker then joined Wycombe Wanderers on November 23rd 2010 on a 3 month loan deal and made his debut on the same night against Torquay United, coming on as a second half substitute. His loan spell was cut short when he suffered a stress fracture in his left foot whilst on International duty with Antigua and Barbuda. He returned to QPR but failed to make another appearance and was released at the end of the season following their promotion to the Premier League.
Parker signed a one year contract at Oldham Athletic on August 5th 2011 following a successful trial period and made his competitive club debut on the first day of the 2011-12 season, as a substitute in the Football League match against Sheffield United.[9]
Parker is eligible to represent Antigua and Barbuda. In November 2010, he received a call-up and accepted an invitation along with his QPR teammate Mikele Leigertwood to play for the national team in the Caribbean Championship qualifiers being hosted in St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda 10–14 November.[10] Parker won his first cap in a 2–1 victory over Suriname on 10 November 2010, playing the full 90 minutes.
