Parsons is a very promising midfielder.[1] He broke onto the Mayo senior team in 2008, giving what was described as an 'inspirational' display against Sligo in the Connacht Senior Football Championship semi-final. He also performed well against eventual winners Galway in the Connacht final.[2] Mayo were knocked out of the championship by Tyrone in the last round of the qualifiers[3]
Parsons also played for the Mayo side that the 2008 All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship semi-final in 2008.[4]
He was selected in the Ireland squad to play in the 2008 International Rules series against Australia.[5] some speculation that Parsons might consider signing a contract with an Australian Football League club, but he said that he had no interest in playing Australian Rules.[6]
