In 2017, Parris made his National Premier League debut for Cavalier. In January 2018, he scored three goals in three consecutive games.[4]

In July 2021, Parris signed a two-year contract with Slovenian top division team Koper.[9]

On 2 September 2022, Parris transferred to Ukrainian Premier League side Dynamo Kyiv for a transfer fee believed to be over €1 million, which became the new record departure for Koper.[10] He signed a four-year contract with Dynamo, with an option for another year.[11]

On 6 September 2023, Azerbaijan Premier League club Sabah announced the season-long loan signing of Parris from Dynamo Kyiv.[12]
