Brody Paterson, born on 24 April 2001 (age 25), came through at Celtic as a trainee before his senior career took shape elsewhere. A Scottish left-back, he left Celtic in July 2022 for Hartlepool United, a move that put some distance between him and the usual churn of academy promise.
The years after Celtic were not especially linear. He had spells involving Kelty Hearts, Arbroath and Cove Rangers, where his 2022-23 league season brought two appearances. Hartlepool United, though, is the club that has left the clearest mark on his senior record, with 11 league appearances across one season.
Paterson is now with Arbroath. In 2026-27 he has made six appearances across the League Cup and Scottish Cup, scoring once in all competitions. His career so far has been that of a Celtic-developed player who moved early into the lower-league circuit, with Hartlepool United still the most substantial stop on the route.
