Parcell played his junior rugby league for the Fassifern Bombers, before being signed by the Ipswich Jets.[6] He also attended Ipswich Grammar School.

Playing career

2015

In 2015, Parcell joined the Brisbane Broncos.[5] In the pre-season, he beat former Bronco Jake Granville's 2.5 kilometre cross country record twice in one hour and then set a new mark for the Broncos' 1.8 kilometre run, while he can also run 40 metres in under five seconds.[5] On 3 May, he played for the Queensland Residents against the New South Wales Residents.[7] In Round 12 of the 2015 NRL season, he made his NRL debut for the Broncos against the Canberra Raiders.[8] On 18 August, he signed a 3-year contract with the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles starting in 2016.[9]

2016

Parcell's first competitive showing with the Sea Eagles was during the first day of the 2016 NRL Auckland Nines at Eden Park in New Zealand. He crossed for the winning try for Manly in their opening game against the Broncos, and later replicated the feat by scoring the winning try in their second game against the New Zealand Warriors.[10][11] In December, he signed a 3-year contract with Super League side Leeds Rhinos, after being released from the final two years of his Sea Eagles contract.[12]
