[edit] Early years
Parratt was born in Inverness, Scotland, but moved to the United States with his family at the age of three. He grew up in Iowa City, Iowa, attended Iowa City High School, played football for Iowa City Alliance,[1] where his father Ian Parratt is Director of Coaching,[2] and attended the US National U-14 training camp. At the age of 15 he came to England to join Birmingham City, and after a year's acclimatisation began a three-year scholarship programme with Birmingham's Academy. During his time with Birmingham he played for the Scotland under-19 team.[1]
Released by the club at the end of the 2004–05 season, Parratt returned to the place of his birth to join Inverness Caledonian Thistle of the Scottish Premier League (SPL) on a two-and-a-half-year contract.[3] Although he sat on the substitutes' bench on numerous occasions, he made no appearances in the SPL, his only first-team match being as a second-half substitute in the Scottish League Cup with his side already 5–1 ahead against Alloa Athletic.[4]
