Parsons attended The Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School in Elstree, and studied Modern History at St Anne's College, Oxford. Parsons started his career at the Watford Observer newspaper.

Before joining the BBC in May 2001, he launched the sports section of the Sunday Business newspaper, and was the paper's Sports Editor, becoming the youngest Sports Editor of a British national newspaper. He was previously Motor Racing Correspondent of The Sunday Times and has written widely about Formula One.

Parsons was a Sports Correspondent for BBC News, appearing regularly on BBC One, BBC Radio and BBC News, the BBC's 24-hour rolling news channel. He co-presented Your News, shown on the BBC News Channel at the weekends. His other work for the BBC included a special report for Panorama, the current affairs programme, and he was also a familiar voice across BBC Radio. Whilst the 2012 Olympic bid process was taking place, Parsons worked as the BBC's Olympic bid specialist.

He was nominated for the Sports News Reporter award at the Royal Television Society Sports Awards in 2003, though the award eventually went to Channel 4 News' Sue Turton.

During his time at the BBC, Parsons reported on every major sporting event, including the FIFA World Cup, the Olympic Games, Formula One, Ashes Cricket and England's triumph in the 2003 Rugby World Cup.
