Parker Siegfried (born February 17, 1997) is a retired American professional soccer player who played as a goalkeeper.
Siegfried played with the Columbus Crew academy prior to playing college soccer at Ohio State University in 2015.[1] [2] He redshirted in 2015, before going on to make 72 appearances for the team and achieving 18 shutouts. During his time with the Buckeyes, Siegfried was named Big Ten All-Freshman Team in 2016, was a two-time Academic All-Big Ten in 2016 and 2017, and a Four-time OSU Scholar-Athlete.[2]
In 2017 and 2018, Siegfried played with NPSL side Asheville City.[3] He went on to make 21 regular season appearances for the club.[4] [5]
On January 13, 2020, Siegfried was selected 74th overall in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft by New York City FC.[6] However, he did not sign the club.
On April 8, 2020, Siegfried signed with USL League One side South Georgia Tormenta.[7] He was released by Tormenta on September 8, 2020, without having made a first team appearance for the club.[8]
Immediately following his release, it was announced that Siegfried had joined Detroit City for their first full season in the National Independent Soccer Association.[9] He went on to help the club win the NISA Fall Championship.[10]
On March 17, 2021, Siegfried signed with USL Championship side Louisville City FC following a success trial with the club.[11]
On April 15, 2021, Major League Soccer side Sporting Kansas City brought in Siegfried on a season-long loan following an injury crisis among their goalkeepers. Kansas City acquired his Major League Soccer rights from New York City FC in exchange for a 3rd round 2023 MLS SuperDraft pick.[12] However, he returned to Louisville in late May.
Following the 2022 season, Siegfried retired from playing soccer to pursue other career opportunities outside the sport.[13]
