Club career
He finished his HSC at Narrabeen Sports High School.
Sydney FC
Payne played in all of Sydney's three trial matches and scored a double against his former club Manly United at Cromer Park.[1] His first official competitive outing for Sydney FC came against Queensland Roar in the opening Pre-Season Cup match of the season. Sydney ended up winning the match 2-1 with Payne scoring Sydney's first to level the scores at 1-1 and as a consequence become the club's youngest ever player to score in a fully competitive match. He was officially transferred from Manly a week before the opening round of the 2008/09 season with Manly FC receiving $3000 for the transfer.
He scored his first goal for Sydney FC in the 3-1 victory against Newcastle Jets at EnergyAustralia Stadium.[2]
While playing against the Wellington Phoenix in the 2009/10 Preliminary final, he scored a controversial[3] goal with his arm.[4]
Despite displaying good form during Sydney FC's Finals run, he was not offered a new contract, and went back to his junior club Manly United.[5][6]
On 28 June Payne signed a deal with North Queensland Fury for their following season.[7]
North Queensland Fury
Payne scored his first goal for the Townsville club in their Round 1, 3-3 draw with Perth Glory. His goal leveled the scores in the first half at 1-1.[8] He again scored against the Glory in the return match in Townsville, hitting a spectacular strike to the top corner of the Glory goal to open the scoring in the Fury's 2-1 win.[9] North Queensland Fury striker Payne will join Newcastle Jets on a two-year deal for 2011-2012 seasons. [10]
Newcastle Jets
Payne made his debut for the Jets, in a pre-season friendly against NSW Premier League club Sutherland Sharks, where he helped the Jets to a 2-1 victory, scoring in the first half.[11]
