Parker then joined Wycombe Wanderers on 23 November 2010 on a three-month loan deal and made his debut on the same night against Torquay United, coming on as a second-half substitute. His loan spell was cut short when he suffered a stress fracture in his left foot while on international duty with Antigua and Barbuda. He returned to QPR but failed to make another appearance and was released at the end of the season following their promotion to the Premier League.
