Ben Parkinson, born on 10 March 2005 (age 21), is an English striker whose senior career has been shaped mainly at Falkirk. His league record began with a single appearance for Newcastle United in 2023-24, but it is at Falkirk that he has had a proper run of first-team football.
Wearing squad number 7, Parkinson has made 15 league appearances for Falkirk across two seasons. In 2026-27, he has featured six times in the league, while his sharper output has come in the cups: three goals in four League Cup appearances and one goal in two Scottish Cup appearances.
