Paul Byrne (born 26 November 1982) is a South African-born footballer who plays for Bootle of the North West Counties League.

Playing career

Byrne began his career as a trainee with Port Vale and although he spent three years with the club after turning professional, made only ten league appearances. He joined Barry Town in July 2003,[2] but left to join Southport in August 2003 without playing a game.[3] He failed to establish himself as a regular and was released by Southport at the end of the season.[4]

He joined Marine in July 2004,[5] but played just five times the following season,[1] before being ruled out with a leg injury received in the game at home to Prescot Cables on 8 September.[6] After almost a year out of the side, he returned for the start of the 2005–06 season and went on to play 15 times in the Northern Premier League that season.[7]

He joined Kendal Town in 2006, since becoming a crowd favourite, picking up both the player of the season and Manager's player of the season awards. They finished 19th in the Northern Premier League in 2006–07, 11th in 2007–08, and fifth in 2008–09 and 2009–10. In the summer of 2010 he signed with Skelmersdale United of the Northern Premier League Division One North. United finished as the division's runners-up in 2010–11, finishing behind champions Chester on goal difference. The "Skems" went on to lose to A.F.C. Fylde in the play-offs. He left the club for Bootle in February 2012 after United manager Tommy Lawson told him he was unable to guarantee him first team football.[8] He was appointed club captain at Bootle.[9] The "Bucks" finished third in the North West Counties League in 2011–12 and 2012–13, and then eighth in 2013–14 and seventh in 2014–15. In 2013 he helped Bootle to win the Liverpool Senior Cup by converting his penalty in the penalty shoot-out victory over A.F.C. Liverpool.[10]
