Football career
Born in Seville, Parra made his professional debuts with hometown club Real Betis at age 19, and played there until 1986–87, appearing in a career-best La Liga 44 games – all as a starter – precisely in that season, which had a second stage. He left the Andalusians with more than 250 competitive matches to his credit, including four in the UEFA Cup and 19 in the Copa de la Liga; he reached the final of the latter tournament in 1986, losing it to FC Barcelona 1–2 on aggregate.
Subsequently, Parra transferred to Atlético Madrid where, after a solid first year (33 games and five goals for a third-place finish) he appeared sparingly, which also occurred in the following two seasons, now with Real Madrid (only 15 matches combined).
After an unsuccessful trial in Hungary with Budapest Honvéd FC, Parra signed with lowly Écija Balompié in 1992, after which he retired. In the 2000s he took up coaching, with Betis' C and B-teams, subsequently acting as a scout for the club.
In late 2006, Parra was named Andalusia's head coach, being replaced in the post by another former Real Madrid player, Adolfo Aldana.
