Paul Digby, born on 2 February 1995 (age 31), is an English central defensive midfielder with Colchester United. At 6ft 5in (1.95m), he is an imposing presence in the middle of the pitch, more naturally cast as a holding player than a headline act.
His most productive league season came at Cambridge United in 2022–23, when he scored once in 35 appearances. That tells its own story: Digby’s game has been built more around structure, size and screening work than end product.
He is now with Colchester United, where in 2026–27 he has made four League Two appearances and one in the League Cup, five in all competitions. Transfermarkt puts his current market value at around £128,000.
Digby’s career has been a steady one in the English lower leagues, centred on midfield discipline rather than decoration. Cambridge gave him his strongest league run, and Colchester is his current stop.
