Born in Coventry, Paterson made his senior début for Walsall on 31 August 2010, in a 2–1 defeat to Chesterfield in the Football League Trophy, making his league début four days later, in a 1–0 home loss to Colchester United. His first goal for the club came over a year later, as he scored in a 1–1 draw against Huddersfield Town on 5 November 2011.
