Elliot Parish

Elliot Parish is a goalkeeper of Bristol City. He was born on 20 May 1990 in Northampton, England.

From 2006 till 2009, Elliot was a trainee of Aston Villa academy, where he performed for the junior squad and got ready for a professional start.

In 2009, the footballer penned his first senior contract and officially became a player of ‘The Villans’. He trained really hard to clinch a place in the starting line-up, but had to watch matches from the substitutes’ bench during one year and a half. That is why the management of the club decided to send Parish on loan to Lincoln City in 2011, and the keeper made nine appearances for the team during his spell. The same year, Elliot sealed a temporary deal with Cardiff City, but failed to feature in any games for ‘The Bluebirds’ during three months.

Nevertheless, in 2012, Cardiff City lodged a tempting bid for the footballer and secured his services on permanent basis. In September the same year, Parish completed a loan move to Wycombe Wanderers and made two appearances for the club during his spell.

In the summer 2013 Parish switched for Bristol City.

In 2009, the keeper was capped three times for the England national U-20 squad.
