Young goalkeeper who joined Hednesford midway through the 2025-2026 season from league rivals Leek Town

​

A former academy goalkeeper at both Stoke City and Shrewsbury Town, Rugeley-based Parke failed to make a first-team appearance at either EFL club and was released by Shrewsbury in May 2023. In October 2023, he linked up with Leek as number two to Dino Visser and made a handful of appearances for the Blues as they romped to the Northern Premier League title

​

Leek's first season back a step three was one of consolidation in 2024-20256, with Parke mainly used for senior cup appearances. Early in the 2025-2026 season, he was highlighted by Hednesford's Head of Goalkeeping Liam Stoneley as a player with significant potential, with the Pitmen moving to bring the youngster to Keys Park as understudy to Tony Breeden

​

Parke's Hednesford debut came in utterly bizarre circumstances in November 2025 as he made a late appearance as a substitute at Ashton United, but as an outfield player after an injury to Jermaine Hylton forced Parke to come on after all of the outfield substitutes had already been used

​

In February 2026, he and team-mate Omari Sterling-James were called up by St. Kitts & Nevis for their FIFA Series 2026 double-header against Indonesia and the Solomon Islands

​

With the Pitmen clinching promotion to National League North and moving to full-time status in the summer of 2026, Parke agreed terms with the club to remain at Keys Park for the forthcoming season as understudy to new signing Sam Hornby
