Paul Parry (born August 19, 1980) is a Welsh football player who currently plays for Cardiff City. Parry was born in Chepstow and attended Chepstow Comprehensive School. He plays as a left-winger.
Parry started his career at Hereford United as a YTS trainee, turning professional in the 1998-99 season. His profile was raised after an excellent FA Cup performance against Leicester City in the 1999/00 season. In this match, Parry so nearly scored the winning goal when he hit the post when one-on-one with Leicester goalkeeper Tim Flowers.
He was Hereford's leading goalscorer in the 2002-03 season. On December 19, 2003, under the watchful eye of the Cardiff City manager, Parry scored a hat-trick for Hereford in a 7-1 rout over Forest Green. Soon after, Cardiff signed him for an initial fee of £75,000 (which would increase depending on appearances). Parry's final appearance for Hereford saw him score the winning goal in added time against Stevenage.
Parry made his international debut for Wales on February 18, 2004, coming on as a substitute in the 4-0 win over Scotland. He scored his first international goal in the 1-0 win over Canada on May 30, 2004. To date, Parry has six Wales caps.
