Monty Mark Patterson is a New Zealand international footballer who plays as a striker for Braintree Town (on loan from Ipswich Town) and New Zealand.

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

He has represented New Zealand seven times, scoring one goal, since debuting in the 2016 OFC Nations Cup. He has represented New Zealand many times at youth level, including the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup and the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Playing career

Club

In 2013, when playing for Eastern Suburbs, Patterson had a successful trial at Ipswich Town and was subsequently offered a contract.[1] He missed a significant amount of the 2015–16 Professional U21 Development League after breaking his leg in the first match of the season.[2] He signed a one-year professional deal with Ipswich in July 2016.[3]

In October 2016 he joined Braintree Town of the National League on a month-long loan.[4] He scored his first goal for the club in a win over Eastbourne Borough in the first round of the 2016–17 FA Cup.[5]

Country

Patterson was a member of the New Zealand under-23 squad for the 2015 Pacific Games.[6] 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.[7]

Patterson was first called up to the New Zealand national team for the 2016 OFC Nations Cup.[8] He made his senior international debut in the first game of the tournament, a win over Fiji.[9] He played the first 53 minutes of the final, New Zealand winning the title after defeating Papua New Guinea in a penalty shoot-out.[10]

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