Paul Heffernan (born 29 December 1981) is an Irish professional footballer, who last played for Dumbarton. Heffernan has played for several clubs in Great Britain which include Sheffield Wednesday, Doncaster Rovers, Notts County, Bristol City, Kilmarnock, Hibernian, Dundee and Queen of the South.
Heffernan started his football career at Notts County and at age 18, he made his league debut, coming on as a substitute for Kevin Rapley in the 76th minute, in a 1–0 loss against Oldham Athletic on 24 April 2000. Then, in the 2003–04 season, Heffernan scored two hat-tricks of his career: The first was in a game against Queens Park Rangers in a 3–3 draw on 26 December 2003 and the second was in a game against , where he scored four times, in a 4–1 win on 21 February 2004. Shortly after this, Heffernan rejected a two-and-a-half-year deal on improved terms with the club, whose contract expires at the end of the 2003–04 season. His rejection of a new contract attracted interests from four clubs after confirming the previous day that he walking out the club following their relegation. Later on in his Notts County career, Heffernan would make 100 appearance and scoring 35 appearance.
In the summer transfer, Bristol City paid £150,000 for him in 2004. Heffernan made his debut, on the opening game of the season, in a 1–1 draw against Torquay United on 7 August 2004 and then scoring his first goal against Stockport County in his fifth appearance for the club. Four months into joining the club, his form went sour that Notts County attempted to sign him on loan. But the next day, Heffernan scored in a FA Cup match against Brentford, but lost in a penalty-shootout after a tie 1–1 in the regular time and kept after extra-time. However, during the season due to the form of Steve Brooker and Leroy Lita, his chances in the first team were limited and also injury as well.
