Monty Mark Patterson is a New Zealand professional footballer who plays as a forward for New Zealand NRFL Division 1 club Birkenhead United.
Born in New Zealand, Patterson moved to England in 2013 where he played youth football for Ipswich Town.
He represented New Zealand from 2016 to 2017 after debuting in the 2016 OFC Nations Cup. He has also represented New Zealand at youth level, including at the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup and the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
In 2013, when playing for Eastern Suburbs, Patterson had a successful trial at Ipswich Town and was subsequently offered a contract.[2] He missed a significant amount of the 2015–16 Professional U21 Development League after breaking his leg in the first match of the season.[3] He signed a one-year professional deal with Ipswich in July 2016.[4] He went on to make his full senior debut on 22 August 2017, substituted on in a 2–1 EFL Cup defeat against Crystal Palace.[5]
On 17 May 2018, it was announced Patterson was one of four players released from Ipswich.[6]
In October 2016 he joined Braintree Town of the National League on a month-long loan.[7] He scored his first goal for the club in a win over Eastbourne Borough in the first round of the 2016–17 FA Cup.[8] Patterson returned to Ipswich at the end of December 2016, after appearing eight times and scoring once in all competitions.
On 9 February 2017, Patterson returned to Braintree Town, this time on loan for the remainder of the 2016–17 campaign.[9]
On 31 January 2018, Patterson was loaned to A-League club Wellington Phoenix until the end of the season.[10]
On 30 July 2018, Patterson signed with United Soccer League side OKC Energy.[11] He was released by the team at the end of their 2018 season.[12]
Patterson was a member of the New Zealand under-23 squad for the 2015 Pacific Games.[13] They were eliminated in the semifinals after their win against Vanuatu was overturned by the OFC for fielding an ineligible player, causing the side to miss qualification for the 2016 Olympics.[14]
Patterson was first called up to the New Zealand national team for the 2016 OFC Nations Cup.[15] He made his senior international debut in the first game of the tournament, a win over Fiji.[16] He played the first 53 minutes of the final, New Zealand winning the title after defeating Papua New Guinea in a penalty shoot-out.
Patterson scored his first goal for New Zealand in a draw with United States on 11 October 2016.[17]
