Michael Paton (born 25 March 1989 in Greenock) is a professional footballer currently playing for Conference National side Stockport County on loan from Scottish Premier League club Aberdeen.

Club career

Paton, a striker, is a product of Aberdeen's youth academy. He first played senior first team football with Scottish Second Division club Brechin City, whom he joined on loan in January to June 2008. He rejoined the Glebe Park side for another loan spell in September 2008.

He made his Aberdeen debut in December 2008, coming on as a substitute in a 3–0 victory over Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[1] He scored his first senior goal for the club in a 2–1 loss to Rangers F.C. at Ibrox in May 2009.[2]

Paton became a regular for the Dons in the 2009–2010 season. He managed his first double for the club coming off the bench in a 3–2 defeat to Dundee at Dens Park.[3] He set up Lee Miller to score the only goal in Aberdeen's 1–0 win over Rangers at Pittodrie Stadium.[4] Paton scored his second league goal for Aberdeen against Hibernian at Easter Road, on the 10th of February 2010 and his first goal at Pittodrie three days later against Celtic with a superb left foot strike from the edge of the box.

On 30 November 2010, Paton travelled to Austria for a three day trial at Austrian Bundesliga side Fußballclub Wacker Innsbruck with the aim of winning a short-term loan deal in the following transfer window. The loan deal was not concluded.[5]

He was offered a free transfer by Aberdeen during the summer 2011 transfer window, but opted to remain with the club.[6] At the end of the transfer window, on 31 August 2011, he joined Stockport County on a six-month loan.[7]
