Van Parker

The 17-year-old attacker signed his first professional contract in 2026 after rising through the ranks of the Real Salt Lake Academy, where he developed into one of the club’s top attacking prospects. Parker competed last season with the RSL U16s in MLS NEXT. He played a central role in leading RSL Academy to back-to-back championships in the Generation Adidas Cup and MLS NEXT Cup, earning MVP and Golden Boot honors for MLS NEXT Cup where he scored six goals and two assists in the opening three matches of RSL’s title run. On the international stage, he has been a regular with the Canadian youth national team, appearing in all four matches at the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar and helping secure Canada’s first-ever win at the tournament.
