Neil Robert Parsley (born 25 April 1966) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender for Witton Albion, Leeds United, Chester City, Huddersfield Town, Doncaster Rovers, West Bromwich Albion and Exeter City. He moved to Albion for £25,000 in September 1993, and went on to make 48 appearances for the club.[1]

He was appointed as caretaker manager of Farsley Celtic on 3 October 2008, following the sacking of John Deacey.[2] He was given the role permanently on 28 October.[3]

In March 2010, Farsley Celtic A.F.C. were disbanded after failing to come out of administration. At the end of May, Parsley agreed to become the manager of the team that was formed to replace them, Farsley Celtic F.C.[4] He left the club in May 2017 despite leading the club to promotion to the Premier Division of the Northern Premier League in 2016–17.[5]
