[edit] Career

[edit] Youth

Patterson-Sewell grew up in Gatton, Queensland in Australia, and began his youth career in Australia with the Toowoomba Raiders junior soccer system. While at the club he was regarded as one of the nation's most promising junior talents.^{[citation needed]} He attended the Queensland Academy of Sport, and played junior football for a variety of youth clubs (Gatton SC, West Wanderers, South Toowoomba Hawks), but it was his play with Toowoomba that helped him draw the interest of numerous European clubs.

In 2004 Patterson-Sewell joined Anderlecht's reserve side. In late 2004 he was signed by Sheffield Wednesday's youth academy.^[1] His play at Wednesday did not go unnoticed by bigger clubs. He was offered a chance to join Liverpool's under 19 side and spurned Wednesday's contract offers.^[2] He appeared in 4 matches for Liverpool in 2005.

[edit] Professional

Once his work permit ran out Patterson-Sewell returned to Australia to sign a temporary deal with Toowoomba Raiders. He was expected to return to Belgium and play for a Liverpool feeder club.^[2] Instead, in 2007 he signed with American USL Second Division side Cleveland City Stars in hopes of impressing Major League Soccer clubs.^[2] While with Cleveland City, Patterson-Sewell helped the club to its first ever qualification to the US Open Cup in 2007. In eight appearances he had a goals against average of 1.00, including three shut-outs.

In early 2008 Patterson-Sewell went on trial with Major League Soccer side Red Bull New York. His play impressed and he was signed by the club. He made no appearances for the Red Bull and declined a contract offer to remain with the Red Bull before the start of the 2009 season.^[3] In February 2009, he was signed by the Carolina RailHawks of the USL First Division.^[4][5]

At the end of the 2009 season Red Bull was granted permission by the MLS to sign Patterson-Sewell again due to an "extreme hardship" case.^[6]
