Keigan Parker (born 8 June 1982) is a Scottish footballer who currently plays for West of Scotland League Central District First Division Thorniewood United F.C.
Parker, a striker, started his career with Scottish club St Johnstone, where he made a promising start to his career and was being tipped by many to have a big future. While at St Johnstone, he gained one cap for the Scotland U-21 team. Unable to impress enough at McDiarmid Park, in 2004, after six years in Perth, he joined Blackpool on a free transfer.
Parker was the first signing made by then Blackpool manager, Colin Hendry, in June 2004. He made his début for the club on 7 August 2004 as a substitute in a 2–0 defeat at Doncaster Rovers and made his full début three days later in a 2–1 defeat at home to Sheffield Wednesday. His first goal came on 29 September in a 2–0 win over York City. In December 2004 he scored a second-half hat-trick at Bloomfield Road against Torquay United.
With Blackpool, Parker found some consistency while the club were in League One but failed to hold down a place in the side when they were promoted to The Championship in the 2007–08 season. He chalked-up his 100th league appearance for Blackpool on 30 December 2006, in a 3–1 win over Doncaster Rovers at Bloomfield Road.
On 27 May 2007, Parker scored Blackpool's second goal in their 2–0 win against Yeovil Town in the League One play-off final at Wembley, a result that promoted Blackpool to The Championship. "It's the best day of my career," he said afterwards. "I've scored against Celtic and Rangers before, but to win at Wembley is something I'll treasure for the rest of my life." It was also his last goal for the club.
