Parera was born in Manacor, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, and joined RCD Mallorca's youth setup in 2007, from CE Manacor.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 31 August 2014, starting in a 1–2 Segunda División B away loss against CD Alcoyano.[2]

Parera would feature sparingly for the B-side in the following campaigns, and renewed his contract on 3 April 2017.[3] He was promoted to the main squad ahead of the 2017–18 campaign in the third division, and acted as a backup to Manolo Reina as his side returned to Segunda División at first attempt.

Parera made his professional debut on 11 September 2018, starting in a 1–0 home win against Real Oviedo for the season's Copa del Rey.[4] On 25 October, he renewed his contract until 2021.[5]

Parera made his debut in the second division on 4 November 2018, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw at Real Oviedo. Still a backup to Reina, he featured in seven matches during the season as the club achieved a second consecutive promotion.

Parera made his La Liga debut on 19 July 2020, starting in a 2–2 away draw against CA Osasuna as his side was already relegated.[6] On 15 June 2021, Parera moved to third division side Racing Santander on a one-year deal.[7]
