One of the competition’s best midfielders, Parker has been a driving force in the GIANTS’ midfield since being drafted ahead of the 2019 season. Hailing from Holbrook in Southern NSW, Parker is a contested beast with a raking left foot who thrives in winning contested footy. Developing into one of the league’s best clearances players, Parker burst onto the scene in her debut season in 2019 where she established herself as a player to watch with a NAB AFLW Rising Star nomination in her first game. Parker went on to claim the GIANTS’ Rising Star Award before elevating her game to another level in her second season where she was named an All Australian as well as winning the Gabrielle Trainor Medal as club champion. At just 21, Parker became the club’s first dual All Australian and two-time winner of the Gabrielle Trainor Medal when she received both recognitions in 2021. A bona fide star of the competition, Parker won a GIANTS record of four club champion awards - in consecutive seasons - before finishing runner-up in 2023 despite missing the final three games of the season. Parker had another stellar season in 2024, leading her side in disposals (24.6) and clearances (5.8) per game to finish fourth in the Gabrielle Trainor Medal.
