Martin Paterson Bio Send To Friend  

Paterson proved to be a superb signing for Burnley when he moved to the club for £1m from Scunthorpe United in the summer of 2008.

The striker scored 12 Championship goals as the club were promoted to the Premier League through the play-offs, and another five in the club's run to the semi-finals of the League Cup.

He began his career with Stoke City but failed to really make an impression, and was loaned out to Grimsby Town. He moved to Scunthorpe in the summer of 2007 for an undisclosed fee.

Paterson's only season at Glanford Park saw him score 13 Championship goals in 34 starts, leading to the interest from Burnley.

He made his Burnley debut in a 4-1 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday, though he did score on his debut.

His pace and power made him a real handful for all Championship defences.
