Parkhouse has been brought in to Paddy McLaughlin's squad with the Reds sitting top of the Irish Premiership.
Tuesday night's 1-0 win over Linfield saw the Solitude club leapfrog Larne at the head of the standings, and now hold a three-point lead at the summit.

Parkhouse was recently placed on the transfer list at Ballymena United alongside defender Caolan Loughran who has joined Championship leaders Loughgall.
The striker joined Ballymena United from Derry City in a three-year deal in the summer of 2021.
He suffered a serious knee injury early in his debut season, which ruled him out of action from September to December, but went on to score five goals in 15 Premiership appearances.
This season he has made nine appearances in the Premiership but hasn't played since October 22.
Meanwhile, Crusaders have placed striker Johnny McMurray on the transfer list.
The former Ballymena United and Larne forward - who scored the winner in last season's Irish Cup final - has been made available to other clubs.
The 28-year-old joined the Crues from Larne in the summer of 2021, while this season he has scored once in 17 Premiership appearances for the Shore Road men.
