He reached the milestone when Southern lost to Taieri 18-14 at Bathgate Park last month. It will be his 304th game tomorrow.
Parker (55) replaced Donny Cameron in 1997.
''I've only missed two games when I was working with the Otago team,'' he said.
''I think I've got a few more years left in me.
''I just love doing it. I have met some great guys over the years.''
Parker prepared himself by taking a sports medicine course that included strapping and massage.
He was the masseur with the Highlanders for three years from 2010 to 2012.
''I'd love to get into the fulltime professional ranks. I'd jump at the chance if it came up.''
He had his first premier game when Southern lost to Kaikorai 36-0 at Tahuna Park in 1997.
''I didn't know how long it would last for. I just loved doing it. I don't think there is a hard part to the job. I just enjoy putting the boys on the table and talking to them.''
The first player he rubbed was All Black Isitolo Maka and he has massaged other internationals, Super Rugby players, Otago representatives and ordinary club players for the past 18 years.
He spends about eight hours each week with Southern during the club season and has worked with the Otago ITM Cup team for the past five years.
Parker was a solo father when he started the masseur job with Southern and ''club stalwarts like Bill Somerville and Porky Waugh used to baby-sit my daughter Samara while I went to training''.
Parker was a prop in Alhambra-Union junior teams but switched to Southern when Eion Willis was coach. He played 20 premier games for Southern and was in the squad that won the club's 19th premier banner in 1989.
Eighteen years later, Parker was the masseur when Southern, coached by King's High School deputy rector Darryl Patterson, won its 20th banner by beating Dunedin 13-9. It was the highlight of his time as masseur with Southern. He has high hopes for this season.
''We are going well and have got good depth. That is what is getting us through. Some of the teams we've played, like Alhambra-Union, struggled because they had so many injuries.
''We had 10 players out and we still had a competitive side. That is due to good recruiting by Tim Belcher.''
Parker has worked with the Sassenachs and Otago junior teams before joining the ITM Cup side five years ago.
