Patrick Nyema Gerhardt (born 31 July 1985) is a Swiss-Liberian footballer who currently plays for National Premier Leagues Victoria side Melbourne Knights. He also represents the Liberia national football team at international level. He is known for his strength, technical skill, heading ability and industrious work rate.
Gerhardt was born in Bern, Switzerland. He also holds a Liberian citizenship through his heritage. He began his football career at Bern, local club FC Bumpliz, before impressing enough to be selected in the BSC Young Boys youth system, where he played for the under 15, under 17, under 18 and under 21 teams. He also won international youth caps for the Swiss national under 15 and under 16 side.
After four years in the youth system and at the age of 19 he won a senior contract with BSC, playing 22 times for the BSC Young Boys II team. After a series of loans to local sides Concordia Basel and SR Delémont he left BSC after just one senior appearance. Gerhardt left BSC in the middle of 2008 and joined newly promoted Romanian Liga I team CS Otopeni. He left after a frustrating season which saw Otopeni relegated and few first team chances. In 2010, he joined Canadian Soccer League side Brantford Galaxy. After an up and down 'regular season' Gerhardt helped the side win the league playoffs, where they came from way back in 7th place to beat Hamilton Croatia 0–3 in the final.
On 26 January 2011, FK Željezničar Sarajevo announced that Gerhardt was coming on trial with the club. He signed for FK Željezničar on 7 February, for the remainder of the 2010–11 season. After helping the Club win the National league cup he was awarded a 1-year contract, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2011/12 season.
