Jonathan "Jon" Parkin (born 30 December 1981) is an English footballer who plays for Fleetwood Town as a striker.

Career

Early career

Born in Barnsley, South Yorkshire,[1] Parkin progressed through the Barnsley youth system as a defender and he made his home town debut at the age of 17 against Hartlepool United. But after only 13 games for Barnsley, he moved to Hartlepool on loan before making a permanent move to Terry Dolan's York City.

Macclesfield Town

Parkin scored 15 goals in 87 appearances for York, despite sometimes playing in a central defensive role. After nearly two years with the club, he moved to Macclesfield Town in February 2004, after York told him they would not be able to offer him the same pay deal for the 2004–05 season.[3] In the 2004–05 season, he scored 26 goals in all competitions for the team, which was a new club record. By this time he was playing solely as a forward.

Hull City

At the start of the 2005–06 season, Parkin had an injury to his knee which stopped him from playing until October. Macclesfield confirmed they had rejected two bids for Parkin by 5 January 2006,[4] but Championship side Hull City eventually signed him for an undisclosed fee on an 18-month contract on 12 January.[5] He marked his debut with a goal against Crystal Palace, in a match that Hull were defeated 2–1.[6] He finished the 2005–06 season with five goals in 19 games for Hull.[7] This, along with his towering position upfront, helped Hull City stay clear of the relegation zone, finishing in 18th place and avoiding relegation by 10 points. In the opening month of the 2006–07 season, he was the only Hull City player to score in the League, with 3 goals in their first five games.

Stoke City

Parkin was loaned out to Stoke City for the remainder of the 2006–07 season in March 2007.[8] He made his debut in a 2–1 victory over Southampton.[9] He was recalled by Hull on 10 April 2007 after making six appearances and scoring three goals for Stoke.[10][11] On 20 June 2007, Parkin signed for Stoke permanently for an initial fee of £275,000, which could rise to £450,000, depending on his and Stoke's success.[12]

Preston North End

He joined Preston North End on an emergency loan on 30 August 2008, which would be turned into a permanent three-year contract for an undisclosed fee on 1 September.[13] He made his debut on the day he joined the club as the side beat Charlton Athletic 2–1.[14] His first goal came after heading in a Ross Wallace cross against Doncaster Rovers in the 82nd minute on 9 December, which sealed a 1–0 victory.[15] He followed this up with the winner against second-place Birmingham City, after Wallace set him up to score from six yards out.[16] He also went on to score in the Boxing Day win over Derby County following another cross from Wallace.[17] He scored Preston's first goal in a 2–1 victory over Queens Park Rangers with a 37th minute goal, which saw Preston secure their place in the 2008–09 Championship play-offs.[18] On 2 January 2010, Parkin scored his first FA Cup hat-trick for Preston in their 7–0 win over Colchester United. On 28 September, Parkin scored his second hat-trick for the club, and his first at Championship level, in a 6–4 win at Leeds United.

Cardiff City

On 1 January 2011, Parkin signed for Welsh team Cardiff City on a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[19] He missed three matches due to injury but scored on his debut with a volley against Norwich City in a match that ended 1–1.[20] After Jay Bothroyd's return to the side, Parkin was relegated to the bench for the majority of the remaining season. His next start came against Stoke City at Cardiff City Stadium on 18 January 2011 but he failed to make an impact.

Parkin managed to find himself on the bench at the start of the 2011-12 season, he got his third start against Oxford United on 12 August, his second Cardiff goal came in the following round of the League Cup against Huddersfield Town.[21] Parkin, was rumoured to be part of a deal for Coventry City defender Ben Turner in August. On 30 August, he arrived in Coventry for a medical and to discuss personal terms.[22] However, the move was to fall through on deadline day after Parkin was reported to have failed his medical at the club. There were also reports suggesting that the Sky Blues' were unwilling to meet his £9,000 per week wage demands, with Parkin refusing to take a pay-cut despite being told by Cardiff manager Malky Mackay that he was surplus to requirements at Cardiff. He has since been made available for loan.[23]

Parkin mutually agreed to terminate his contract with Cardiff City on 7 June 2012, becoming a Free agent.[24]

Loan moves

In September 2011 Parkin joined Doncaster Rovers on loan.[25] He made his debut on 24 September, in Doncaster's first victory of the season against Crystal Palace.[26] Parkin returned to Cardiff on 24 October, after 4 starts and 1 substitute appearance.[27] Doncaster twice tried to extend his loan deal, but Cardiff rejected the bids.[28][29] Instead, Parkin joined Huddersfield Town on loan,[30] making his début on 28 November against Charlton Athletic.[31] He returned to Cardiff on 23 January after making just three appearances for the Terriers and eight days later he joined Scunthorpe United, again on loan.[32] He made his debut on 14 February against Rochdale and scored his first goal in a 3-1 win over Leyton Orient, four days later. His loan was extended until the end of the season.[33]

Fleetwood Town

In June 2012 Parkin moved to Football League Two side Fleetwood Town on a free transfer.[citation needed]

Style of play

Parkin has been referred to as "The Beast" due to his fat appearance and huge beer gut and fans have chanted "Feed The Beast and he will score" Although we would not reccomend feeding animals like a Parkin as he is too fat already innit.[34]
