Tommaso Salvatore "Tom" Parrinello (born 11 November 1989) is an English football defender of Italian descent, who is currently a free agent, most recently playing for Gloucester City. Before joining Gloucester in June 2010, he had played for Weston, initially on loan from Bristol Rovers, but the move became permanent when he was released by the Bristol Club on 10 February 2009.[2]
Career
Parrinello made his debut for the Bristol Rovers first team on 1 December 2007, when he appeared in an FA Cup second round match against Rushden & Diamonds, coming on as a substitute for Craig Disley.[3]
Tommaso Parrinello was the youngest of the five Filton College scholars to be offered a professional contract in the summer of 2006. As a sixteen-year-old, he made a number of reserve team appearances in 2005/06 and was a regular in the reserve side in 2006/07 and again last season. A left back, Tom has benefited from being a member of the professional ranks and is a better player for the experience. He has become a lot stronger and, technically, there are no concerns about his ability. He has a cultured left foot and will be looking to build on the experience of playing regular reserve team football.
Parrinello joined Weston-super-Mare on loan in December 2008 in order to gain some first team experience,[4] but the move became permanent two months later.
Tom Parrinello has recently started the Tom Parrinello Football Academy offering professional coaching and academy training to schools and children in Bristol.
