Jordan David Parkes

Originally a striker, Jordan Parkes had become a full-back by the time he was entrusted with a shoot-out spot-kick on his first- team début a couple of months after his 17th birthday, and was not found wanting. He was also capped at u-18 and U-20 levels, but all these events were not the prelude to a substantial Watford career and his contract was cancelled in June 2010 to allow him to join Barnet. The previous month he was sent off in two reserve-team games against Aldershot Town within three days of each other while on trial with Leyton Orient, having never been dismissed in any previous match. Later in his career he scored freely from midfield for Hemel Hempstead Town, becoming the club’s all time leading scorer shortly before leaving for Billericay.
