Jonathan Parkin (born 30 December 1981) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for National League club York City.
Born in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, Parkin progressed through the youth system of his hometown club Barnsley as a defender. He made his first-team 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.
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. In 2004–05, 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.
At the start of 2005–06, Parkin had an injury to his knee which stopped him from playing until October 2005. Macclesfield confirmed they had rejected two bids for Parkin by 5 January 2006, but Championship club Hull City eventually signed him for an undisclosed fee on an 18-month contract on 12 January. He marked his debut with a goal against Crystal Palace, in a match that Hull were defeated 2–1. He finished 2005–06 with five goals in 18 games for Hull. 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 2006–07, he was the only Hull City player to score in the league, with three goals in their first five games.
