Player Profile

Introduction

Full Name: Paulo Dos Santos
Preferred Position: Center Back
Joined Paddock: 2 seasons ago
Previous Club: Greater Manchester FC

Career Highlights

One of my career highlights was clearing the ball off the line to secure a 4-3 win for my old team. Scoring for Paddock’s U21s to make it 2-2 was also a memorable moment, especially when the U21s were going through a rough patch.

Personal Football Journey

I started playing grassroots football and then moved to Badgers FC, where we won the league cup and got promoted to the premier division. After that, I was scouted by Hereford and played for their shadow squad U16. Later, I played for Worcester Youths FC and then transitioned to men’s Saturday league back home. Now, I am enjoying my best football at Paddock.

Role at Paddock

I play as a center back, focusing on protecting the goal and doing the dirty work. I’m also the loudest player on the pitch, trying to lead the team to a win. Currently, I am training with both the Reserves and First team, and I am the captain for the reserves during the pre-season, hoping to set a good example for the players around me.

Personal Interests and Aspirations

I play football quite a lot as I coach for a 1-1 coaching company and volunteer as a coach for a university team. I work part-time as a bartender. My future aspiration is to become a Head of Youth Development Coach for a Premier League team, ensuring kids at youth academies get fair opportunities. Within football, I aim to play at a high level in the future but am currently very happy at Paddock. I want to push for the first team and help them in any way possible this season.

Message to the Fans and Owners

Thank you to the fans for the tremendous support you give us players. Hopefully, we as a club can achieve amazing things this season. I am proud to be part of the reason why there is a reserve squad and am ambitious to win the league. Up the Paddock! ❤
