Wil Brian Parker (born 29 May 2002)[1] is a professional Australian rules football player who currently plays for the Collingwood Football Club, and a former domestic cricketer who played for the Victoria cricket team and the Hobart Hurricanes.
Cricket career
Parker made his first-class debut on 14 February 2020, for Victoria in the 2019–20 Sheffield Shield season.[2][3] He became the fourth-youngest cricketer to make their first-class debut for Victoria.[4] His uncle, Geoff Parker, also played first-class cricket for Victoria.[5]
In June 2020, Parker signed a professional contract with Victoria for the 2020–21 domestic season, opting to play cricket instead of Australian rules football, where he was touted as a potential early draft selection.[6] He made his Twenty20 debut on 27 December 2020, for the Hobart Hurricanes, in the 2020–21 Big Bash League season.[7] He made his List A debut on 10 March 2021, for Victoria in the 2020–21 Marsh One-Day Cup.[8] At the end of the 2023-24 Sheffield Shield season and 2023–24 Marsh One-Day Cup he gave up his contract with Cricket Victoria to return to Australian rules football.
For Victoria he played 4 First-Class games, taking 6 wickets at an average of 32 and scoring 4 runs in 2 innings at an average of 2. Parker also represented Victoria in a solitary one-day match, taking 1 wicket for 44 and scoring 7 runs. In T20 cricket he played 9 games, taking 1 wicket for the cost of 185 runs and scoring 47 runs in 6 innings (with a high score of 25 against the Perth Scorchers in December 2021) at an average of 11.75.
AFL career
For the 2024 AFL season, Parker signed with the Collingwood Football Club[9] as a Category B Rookie. He made his debut against Fremantle in round 11.[10]
