Tom Parrinello (full name Tomaso Parrinello) is an English defender of Italian descent who came through the Rovers youth system at the Bristol Academy of Sport. He was promoted to the first-team squad in the summer of 2006, the same year as Sean Rigg. Tom's only appearance for the first team came on 1 December 2007 in the 5-1 FA Cup second round victory over Rushden & Diamonds, when he came on as an 84th-minute substitute for Craig Disley. He remained at Rovers until midway through the 2008-09 season, when a loan move to Weston-super-Mare became permanent.
