Joshua "Josh" Parker (born 1 December 1990) is an English-born Antiguan footballer who plays for Red Star Belgrade and for the Antigua and Barbuda national football team.
Career
Parker started his career at Queens Park Rangers (QPR). In January 2010 he joined Conference National club AFC Wimbledon on loan.[3][4] 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.[5] He got his first start two weeks later in a 1–0 win at Barnsley.[6] At the end of the season, manager Neil Warnock offered the youngster a new one-year deal.[7] In October 2010, he joined League Two club Northampton Town on a month-long loan.[8] He made only three appearances for the club and returned to QPR a week before the end of his contract.[9] Parker then joined Wycombe Wanderers on 23 November 2010 on a three-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 while 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 5 August 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.[10] On 8 March 2012, Parker joined Football League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge on loan.[11]
He was released by Oldham at the end of the 2011–12 season, along with eight other players.[12] In December 2012 he signed on non-contract terms for Oxford United.[13]
He signed with Slovenian side Domžale in June 2013. After a year and a half in the Slovenian First League, he moved to Serbian SuperLiga side Red Star Belgrade. On 8 January 2015 he signed a 2-year contract with Red Star.[14]
On 20 August 2015, he signed a short-term loan deal with Aberdeen until January 2016.[15]
In March 2016, he was a contestant on Channel 4's Couples Come Dine with Me (Season 3, Episode 33) which was filmed in Aberdeen during his time on loan.[16]
International career
Parker is eligible to represent Antigua and Barbuda. In November 2010, he received a call-up and accepted an invitation along with his former QPR teammate Mikele Leigertwood to play for the national team in the Caribbean Championship qualifiers being hosted in St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda on 10–14 November.[17] Parker won his first cap in a 2–1 victory over Suriname on 10 November 2010, playing the full 90 minutes. He was part of Antigua and Barbuda team at the 2010 and 2014 Caribbean Cup.
