Club career

[edit]

Winston made his debut in the Costa Rican Primera División in 1999 with only in 17-year-old, playing with his hometown team Limonense and scored his first goal back on 28 November of the same year, he played this season mostly as a substitute, because he was competing at that moment against some players that succeeded during the next few years, like Kurt Bernard, Andy Herron, Rayner Robinson and Ricardo Douglas for a place in the starting line-up. The following season and after the sale of most of the players mentioned before, it was usual to see him in the starting line-up making a dangerous offensive triplet with Victor Núñez and Andy Herron.

His high internationally performances led the Italian club Udinese to purchase the player for $2.1 million from Limonense.[1] However, due to injuries Parks was unable to earn a place in the club's first team,[2] he was loaned for six months to Ascoli[3] and eventually moved on to Lokomotiv Moscow,[4] he was again loaned to Saturn Ramenskoye and then he was sold to Slovan Liberec.[5]

After spending six years in Europe he decided to moved back to Costa Rica looking for more minutes on the field in other the get in shape and find again his game and ability. He signed with Alajuelense in summer 2007,[6] but he has had a lot of injuries and only scored two goals in the Apertura's tournament.
