Stuart Parnaby (born July 19, 1982 in Durham) is an English footballer who currently plays for Middlesbrough as a right-back. His father, Dave Parnaby, runs the Middlesbrough F.C. Academy.
He began his career for Middlesbrough in September 2000 in Middlesbrough's Worthington Cup match against Macclesfield Town. The next month, he was loaned to Halifax Town, during which time he played six games and won Division Three's Player Of The Month award.
He did not feature in the 2001/02 season, due to long-lasting injuries. Parnaby has captained his country at various levels of the English game up to Under-21 level. Again, during the 2003/04 season, he found himself struggling to feature in the team after a four-month layoff for a knee injury.
He became first choice right-back at the start of the 2006/07 season, but the form and performances of fellow defender Andrew Davies mean he has lost his place in the starting line-up.
His future remains shrouded in doubt, as his current contract expires at the end of the current season and he may be deemed surplus to requirments.
