My name is Tiernan Parker. I was born in WGC on the 4th August 2001, but raised in Hatfield, Herfordshire.

My Dad introduced me to football with Stevenage FC Kickers on Friday nights age 5 years old.

My first competitive season was for Harvesters FC at U7s. I played for many grass roots football teams from U7s to U13s either as a signed player or to represent them in showcase fixtures or football tournaments.

I got into the Academy System late as a goal keeper. I was signed by Tottenham Hotspur FC half-way through the U13s season. It was a great foundation to build on at Tottenham Hotspur FC, unfortunately I was released after 15 months.

Luton Town FC offered me a trial after being released by Tottenham Hotspur FC.

I secured a two year contract then a two year scholarship, then a two year professional contract with Luton Town FC. I’ve also represented Northern Ireland at International level from U15s to U19s.

From U7s to U13s I had trials for Luton Town FC, Cambridge United and Brentford FC. At that moment in time I did not get offered Academy Football. I persevered with my grass roots football and eventually got my break into Academy Football with Tottenham Hotspur FC.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t offered another development professional contract for Luton Town FC, but my current Football Club for the current 2022/23 season is Hitchin Town FC, who are at Step 3 of the Southern Premier Division Central.
