Career

Park's natural position is as a left winger, following on from Middlesbrough's former youth products, Stewart Downing and Adam Johnson. He was considered a bright prospect from Middlesbrough's academy. He signed a four-and-a-half year professional contract in December 2010.[3] Park made his debut for Middlesbrough on 15 January 2011 as a substitute in a 4-0 away win over Bristol City.[4] On 23 August 2011 Park joined Championship rivals Barnsley on a three-month loan,[5] making three appearances. Park scored his only goal for Boro on 28 August 2012, against Gillingham in Middlesbrough's 2-0 win in the League Cup, a chip in the 90th minute.

Park was selected by the Scotland national under-21 football team in August 2012.[6]

On 27 February 2014, Park joined League One side Crewe Alexandra on a one-month loan.[7]

Park was released from his contract with Middlesbrough on 16 May 2014. He subsequently played for his home town club, Marske United,[8] then joined Whitby Town. He was released by Whitby in October 2016,[9] but later had a trial with the same club, playing against Middlesbrough's under-23s in a pre-season friendly on 28 July 2018.[10]
