Born on 23rd May 1998 in Canada, Harry Paton now aged 26, stands as a reputable midfielder well-regarded for his central position on the pitch for Motherwell. In relation to size, he measures a solid 5ft 8in (1.75m) and weighs in at a lean 11st (70kg). When performing his footballing duties, he proudly dons the number 12 jersey.
On garnering an understanding of his financial value in the football industry, it's been reported that Harry's market value sits approximately at €300k, which calculates to about £255k in sterling terms. This particular valuation was provided by Transfermarkt. His contract with Motherwell is set to expire on 31 May 2025, and currently has around four months remaining.
In July 2016, Harry, taking up the challenge of a trainee, joined Hearts in the Premiership Scotland, prefacing his career in Scottish football. A year later in July 2017, he made his first career move, going on loan to Stenhousemuir in the League One in Scotland. Performing diligently, in the 2017-2018 season, Paton established a debut record of 17 first team appearances with three goals added to his name.
Harry's career tracked a new course in July 2018, when he transferred from Hearts to Ross County, both being represented in Scottish Premiership. His years at Ross county were marked by constant first team appearances, 19 in the 2019-2020 season, 35 in the 2020-2021 season and again 31 in the 2021-2022 season. However, in this span of time, goals from Harry were a rare sight, with only one to show in the 2020-21 season.
An interim period in September 2018 saw Paton make a return to Stenhousemuir on a loan. He replicated his previous form at the club, making 17 first team appearances and bagging three goals in the process. After completion of his loan, he returned to Ross County in January 2019 and continued his stints of regular appearances, but remained sporadic in his goalscoring exploits.
His career trajectory took another turn in June 2022 when he made a transfer from Ross County. But it wasn't until March 2023 when he joined Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership. His time at Motherwell has seen him consistently included in the first team; seven appearances in the 2022-2023 season, 26 appearances with two goals in the 2023-2024 season, and 12 appearances so far in the current 2024-2025 season. Naturally, Paton has partaken in Cup duties too, including the League Cup 2024-2025 for Motherwell, where he has made three starts so far.
