Born in New Zealand, Patterson moved to England in 2013 where he played youth football for Ipswich Town.

Club career

Ipswich Town

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 in the 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace in the League Cup second round on 22 August 2017.[5]

On 17th May it was announced Patterson was one of four players released from Ipswich.[6]

Loan to Braintree Town

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]

Loan to Wellington Phoenix

On 31 January 2018, Patterson was loaned to A-League club Wellington Phoenix until the end of the season.[10]

OKC Energy

On 30 July 2018, Patterson signed with United Soccer League side OKC Energy.[11]

International career

Patterson was a member of the New Zealand under-23 squad for the 2015 Pacific Games.[12] 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.[13]

Patterson was first called up to the New Zealand national team for the 2016 OFC Nations Cup.[14] He made his senior international debut in the first game of the tournament, a win over Fiji.[15] He played the first 53 minutes of the final, New Zealand winning the title after defeating Papua New Guinea in a penalty shoot-out.[16]

Patterson scored his first goal for New Zealand in a draw with United States on 11 October 2016.[17]
