Stefan joined the Club from Brentford at Under-14s level before progressing through the ranks. He's a quick, intelligent left-back, capable of playing anywhere across the back line and is very comfortable when on the ball.

An injury hampered the defender for large parts of the 2019/20 season, but he returned for the following campaign and was a valuable part of Steve Wigley's Under-18s team, making 24 appearances in total.

Parkes is now a permanent member of our Under-21s and has spent time training with the First Team in the early stages of the 2022/23 pre-season.

A long-term injury limited him to just four appearances last season, but he'll be eager to return with a bang when the 2023/24 season gets under way.
