Nicky Parker - First Division South Player of the Month
Thu 8th October 2026 | League Awards | By Martin Fallon
Nicky Parker of Eccleshall was presented with his August 2026 First Division South Player of the Month award ahead of his teams last home game with AFC Bridgnorth. Nicky is pictured receiving his award from League Ambassador Andrew Reid.
This is the second successive award for Nicky, who won this award for Eccleshall in April last season. Nicky is a prolific goalscorer who scored 33 goals in 59 games for Market Drayton Town before switching to Eccleshall at the start of last season. He hit 20 goals last season, helping Eccleshall finish as Runners Up in the league before they heartbreakingly lost in the Play-Off Final on penalties. He has previously played for former NWCFL side Whitchurch Alport in the Midland League, as well as Prees United in the Shropshire County League.
The first game in saw Eccleshall win 3-1 at home to newcomers Widnes Town. Nicky caused problems for the visiting defence throughout and scored the second goal of the game to put his side 2-0 up and give them some breathing space. His performance led to him winning Man of the Match in this game.
Eccleshall's first clean sheet of the season came next in midweek with a 4-0 win at Allscott Heath. Nicky was again instrumental in the victory as he caused problems all night for Allscott. He opened the scoring just after the half hour and added a second before the break. He then set up teammate Levi Hunter at the start of the second half to make it three, allowing Eccleshall to take their foot off the gas a little. Once again he won Man of the Match.
Barnton defeated Eccleshall in Nicky's next game 2-1, before they bounced back with a 2-1 win of their own at Wolverhampton Casuals. No goals for Nicky in these two games, but he did set up Morgan Russell for the winner in the Wolves game just after half time, his overall performance again seeing him win Man of the Match.
Another 4-0 win followed with victory over Allscott Heath again, this time in the FA Vase. Nicky was on target for the second goal in this game as his side progressed to the next round. Nicky's final game of the month came with a 3-2 home loss to Wednesfield Community. After going three goals down, Eccleshall rallied with Nicky's fifth goal of the season getting them back into it, but they couldn't force a draw.
Six games for Nicky in the month, five of which was in the league where he won Man of the Match four times. He also scored five goals in the month.
Congratulations Nicky!
