Parker started his professional football career playing for Thanda Royal Zulu in the Premier Soccer League, where he made 70 appearances before a one year loan to Serbian side Red Star Belgrade. He joined Eredivisie side FC Twente in 2009, where he spent a season and a half before being loaned out to Panserraikos in the Greek Super League. During his time in the Eredivisie, Parker won the 2009-10 Eredivisie and the 2010 Johan Cruyff Shield.

He was sold to Kaizer Chiefs in 2011, where he would go on to make over 200 appearances and score over 40 goals. He was awarded the 2013-14 Lesley Manyathela Golden Boot and won two league titles, the Nedbank Cup and the MTN 8 with the South African club.
The Soweto gaints is set not to extend parkers contract, so he opens space for new players this comes after the former golden booth winner with the club has spend more than 1000 minutes without finding the back of the net, 0 assists and only one red card of which he got when he came as a substitute when they defeated against the Limpopo side TTM by 3 goals in the DSTV premiership over a week, the win which got the club moving to the 7th place in the league standings.
The Soweto giants have picked up form following a difficult start to the season and are currently enjoying a string of four games – three wins and a draw – without tasting defeat.
But that run faces a stern test from the visiting Limpopo side who upset them on the final day of the title race last season by claiming a 1-1 draw which paved the way for Mamellodi Sundowns to claim the league crown.
