He joined Newcastle in August 2005 from Chelsea and made 70 appearances before joining West Ham.
Parker has declared he wants to be permanent England captain after leading his country in the friendly defeat to Holland.
Scott Parker: "Would like to keep the armband for the European Championship? Of course I would.
"I also understand there's many a player - no-one more than Steven Gerrard and a couple of others - who've obviously been there before and done it.
"It's going to be difficult for me but I would obviously relish the chance to lead the country out again and take it into the Euros.
"Whether that's me or it's not me, I know I'll be fully behind whoever it may be, determined to make England succeed.
"It was pretty special, really, a very proud moment for me and something, as a kid, I dreamed of many a time.
"I could probably speak for every boy and every young lad who has the same ambition.
"I never thought it would happen to me, so I'm absolutely delighted to lead out my country.
"It's definitely up there, not only in my career but obviously in my personal life, probably behind the birth of my kids.
"My family are very proud.
"Steve Gerrard was fine. He was the ultra-professional he is.
"He was the first person to come up to me and congratulate me and said he'd support me. That was pleasing.
"You wouldn't expect anything else from such a great player.
"I thought we showed great heart, great courage to get back into the game," he said.
"At 2-0, we could've fallen apart, really. We dug in and we got ourselves back.
"It's probably a little sloppy on our behalf that we've let them go and win the game.
"It's disappointing but we got some good positives out of the game.
"We're not sitting there thinking that with the way we performed tonight through maybe just sheer grit and determination and courage that we're going to go and win a tournament.
"We understand we need to work on things, we need to get technically better.
"But we all need to be positive and we all need to realise that tonight gives us great hope.
"Coming back from 2-0 down in massive.
"It was edgy there and we proved that we can do it."
