Pádraig Amond (born 15 April 1988) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a striker or a winger for Hartlepool United.
Amond joined Shamrock Rovers in 1999 and progressed through the schoolboy ranks of the club. He represented the club in the Milk Cup in both 2003 and 2004, assisting the team in reaching the quarter finals the first year. He scored the Hoops' first goal of the tournament in 2003 in a 3–1 defeat of Israeli side Maccabi Haifa in the junior section game at The Warren, Portstewart.
He was part of the team that were champions of the LOI First Division in the 2006 season, being promoted to the LOI Premier Division. He was promoted to the senior squad at the start of the season, making his League of Ireland debut as a substitute against Athlone Town on 16 March 2006. He scored his only goal against Finn Harps in September 2006. He made ten appearances, eight from the bench, for the whole season. Amond also represented his native county of Carlow at minor (under-18) level hurling in 2006, reaching the Leinster final at Croke Park.
Amond joined Kildare County on a season long loan for the 2007 season. Amond scored twice on 8 April 2007 in what was Kildare County's first victory of the season in the 2–2 draw against Wexford Youths, he got their first within 4 minutes after goalkeeper Shane Dunphy fumbled a Gary Walsh corner-kick leaving Amond to shoot from close range; in the 90th minute Amond scored an equalising penalty sending Dunphy the wrong way after Conor Sinnott had handled a Philip Byrne shot. He became the first opposition player to score at Athlone Town's new stadium at Lissywollen in the League of Ireland First Division on 16 April 2007, in the 0–2 away win, on 27 minutes Philip Gorman's shot was blocked and with Athlone failing to clear, the ball fell to Amond, who from close range blasted the ball into the back of the net; then on 68 minutes, defenders Jim Sheridan and Ronan Frawley both went for a high ball, it broke loose, Amond nipped in behind the pair and skillfully directed his shot over the head of home goalkeeper Danny O'Leary. His final goal while on his loan spell came on the 27 April 2007 against Kilkenny City, he scored on 57 minutes when a cross on the right by Philly Gorman reached the Amond unmarked in the box to head home to put them 1–2 in front, the game finishing in a 3–3 stalemate. He scored five goals for Kildare before being recalled by Shamrock Rovers.
