Brody Paterson

Brody Paterson of Arbroath was born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland on 24 April 2001 (age 25).

Brody Paterson, born on 24 April 2001 (age 25), is a Scottish left-back who came through at Celtic before his senior career took shape elsewhere.

He left Celtic in July 2022 for Hartlepool United, a move that took him out of the academy route and into the rougher business of first-team football. There were also spells around Kelty Hearts and Cove Rangers in that early senior period, with Cove giving him two league appearances in 2022-2023.

Hartlepool United has been the clearest marker in his career so far. He made 11 league appearances there across one season, without scoring, and it remains the club most strongly attached to his senior record rather than any brief stop along the way.

Paterson is now with Arbroath. In 2025-2026 he has yet to make a league appearance, though he has featured twice across all competitions and scored once. His career has moved from Celtic’s system into a run of lower-league senior football, with Hartlepool still the main spell on the page.

Brody Paterson's transfer history was dominated by free moves and loans: Celtic to Hartlepool United on a free transfer in July 2022, Hartlepool to Cove Rangers on loan in January 2023, and Hartlepool to Kelty Hearts first on loan and then on a free transfer in 2024. It suggested movement away from Celtic into lower-profile senior football rather than a fee-backed step up.
