Parrington was born in England and moved to New Zealand as a young man. He played in three first-class matches, for Wellington, West Coast and Taranaki, between 1876 and 1883. He was Wanganui's most successful bowler, with 5 for 28 in the first innings, when the Wanganui XXII defeated the touring Australian team in February 1881.
