Career
Southampton
Born in Dunfermline, Fife, Paterson was educated at Neville Lovett Community School in Fareham, Hampshire.[citation needed] He started his career in the youth system at Bournemouth before a number of clubs showed an interest. He then joined the Southampton Academy in 2007. He made his first team debut as a substitute at St Mary's Stadium, coming on for Jordan Robertson against Norwich City on 30 September 2008.[1]
In his first year as a professional, Paterson caused controversy during an FA Cup tie against Manchester United on 4 January 2009, when he was given a red card for a tackle on Nemanja Vidić.[2] He scored his first goal, shortly after coming on as a substitute, in a 3–0 victory at Ipswich Town on 3 March 2009.[3] On 8 August 2009 he scored a goal for Southampton against Millwall in Southampton's first game of the 2009–10 campaign.
Southend United
Paterson signed a two and a half year deal with Southend United on 22 January 2010.[4] He made his debut the following day against Wycombe Wanderers in a 1–1 draw. Paterson opened his scoring for Southend United at Milton Keynes Dons and followed this up with a goal against Charlton Athletic in the league.
Paterson started the 2010 season with two goals in a 3–2 victory against Bristol City in the League Cup on 10 August[5] followed by two goals against Barnet in the Football League Trophy on 5 October 2010.[6]
Stockport County loan
On 9 February 2011, Paterson joined League Two side Stockport County on loan.[7] On 12 February 2011 Paterson made his Stockport debut against Bury and scored the opening goal in a 2–1 victory to lift The Hatters off the bottom of the table.[8] On 5 March 2011, Paterson scored the equalising goal in a 2–1 win against Oxford United.[9] A few days later, County confirmed that Paterson's loan had been extended until the end of the season.[10] Paterson continued to try to keep Stockport County in the Football League with another goal against promotion chasing Stevenage on 9 April 2011. He returned to his parent club in early May after picking up an injury which ruled him out for the remainder of the season.
Hamilton Academical loan
On 9 August 2011, Paterson joined Hamilton Academical on loan. The deal will run until 1 January 2012.[11] On the 13th Aug 2011 Paterson opened his scoring with Accies on his League debut in the 5 - 1 thrashing of Ross County. [12] Back from injury Paterson scored his second Accies goal with a superb right foot curler to open the scoring in the 3 - 1 defeat of Queen of the South.[13]
