Brody Paterson, born on 24 April 2001 (age 25), is a Scottish left-back whose early grounding came at Celtic. He came through as a trainee at Lennoxtown, but his senior career has been built elsewhere rather than around a breakthrough in Glasgow.
He left Celtic in July 2022 for Hartlepool United, the sort of move that made sense for a young full-back needing senior football rather than another season around the fringes. His route after that was not especially direct, taking in Cove Rangers, Kelty Hearts and Arbroath, with Hartlepool later becoming a more established part of his career.
Paterson is with Arbroath in 2026-27. He has made 14 appearances across all competitions for the club this season, including eight in the Championship, four in the League Cup and two in the Scottish Cup.
His career has moved on from Celtic through the lower leagues in Scotland and England, with Arbroath now giving him regular senior work at left-back. It is a practical career path rather than a spectacular one, but it has kept him in the professional game.
