Sam Patterson (born 29 October 1993) is an English footballer who plays as a right back or midfielder for Altrincham.
Career
Patterson began his career at Barnsley. He was first included in a matchday squad on 9 April 2013, remaining an unused substitute in their 1–1 Championship draw away to Cardiff City,[2] and a week later was used in the same way for a game at Oakwell against Derby County, with the same outcome.[3]
On 26 November 2013, he was loaned to fellow Yorkshire team F.C. Halifax Town until 5 January 2014.[4] He made his senior debut that same day, replacing the injured Danny Lowe before half time in a 3–2 Conference Premier loss away to Hereford United at Edgar Street.[5] On 7 December, he made the only other appearance of his loan, again as the replacement for an injured player, filling in for Matty Pearson for the final 29 minutes of a 3–4 loss to Woking at The Shay.[6]
Released by Barnsley in the summer of 2014, Patterson went on to another club in the county, Bradford Park Avenue of the Conference North.[7] On 26 December that year, he made his first senior start, playing the full 90 minutes as Bradford lost 2–1 at Chorley.[8] He played 14 league games for the Avenue that season, scoring once, a second-minute opener in a 1–1 draw with Lowestoft Town at the Horsfall Stadium on 21 February 2015.[9]
On 21 August 2015, he signed a one-year contract with the option of a second year for League One club Shrewsbury Town, joining up with manager Micky Mellon, who was assistant manager during his spell at Barnsley.[10] He played his first professional game on 1 September, featuring for the entirety of a 2–0 home win over Oldham Athletic in the first round of the Football League Trophy,[11] and made one subsequent appearance for the club in the next round of the competition, a 2–1 defeat away at Fleetwood Town the following month.[12] Having not broken into the first-team, he was released by mutual agreement in January 2016,[13] rejoining his former club Bradford Park Avenue shortly afterwards.[14]
Patterson joined Altrincham ahead of the 2016–17 season in May 2016.[15]
