Ben Parkinson, born on 10 March 2005 (age 21), is an English striker whose senior football has been concentrated at Falkirk. He wears the number 7 shirt and is valued at around £128,000 by Transfermarkt.
His earlier record includes a single league appearance for Newcastle United in 2023-24, but Falkirk is where his career has properly taken shape. Across two seasons there, he has made 18 league appearances, a modest body of work rather than a grand portfolio.
The 2026-27 season has brought nine league appearances for Falkirk, with his sharper return coming in the cups: three goals in four League Cup matches and one in two Scottish Cup games. In all competitions for Falkirk that season, he has 15 appearances and four goals.
Parkinson’s career remains a developing one, centred largely on Falkirk rather than spread across a long list of clubs. At this stage, the plain facts are a young striker building minutes and finding most of his end product in cup football.
