Omari Joshua Curtis Patrick (born 24 May 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger and forward for Sutton United.

Contents

He trained at the FAB Academy and started his career in non-League with Beaconsfield SYCOB. He signed his first professional contract with Kidderminster Harriers and signed for his first EFL club with Barnsley, before moving to Bradford City a season later, where he made his Football League debut.

Early and personal life

Patrick was born in Slough. [3] His father is Commonwealth Games Gold-winning athlete Adrian Patrick, and his godfather is sprinter Linford Christie. [4]

Career

Beaconsfield SYCOB

After leaving the FAB Academy, Patrick joined Beaconsfield SYCOB after having unsuccessful trials with Brentford, Barnet and Rangers. He scored on his debut against Bedford Town. [5] Whilst at the club he scored 14 goals in 49 matches over one and a half seasons, [6] and went on trial to Oxford United. [7]

Kidderminster Harriers

On 5 December 2015, Patrick signed a contract with National League side Kidderminster Harriers. [8] He made his debut from the bench on the same day, against Gateshead. [3] At the end of the season, following Harriers' relegation and 18 appearances, Patrick was offered a new contract. [9]

Barnsley

Following an impressive trial for Barnsley U23s, during which he scored against Ipswich Town U23s, he signed a one-year contract with the club on 21 September 2016. He was initially assigned to the development squad. [10] [11] He never made a first-team appearance for Barnsley. [12]

Bradford City

He signed a one-year contract with Bradford City in May 2017. [13] Following some "impressive" performances in pre-season friendlies, Patrick was praised by Bradford manager Stuart McCall. [14] He started the first game of the 2017–18 season, scoring the winning goal. [15] [16] Following an "impressive start" to the season, Patrick signed a new three-year contract with the club in August 2017. [17] He was dropped from the first-team halfway through the 2017–18 season, and also suffered a knee injury. [18]

On 28 August 2018, Patrick joined League Two side Yeovil Town on loan until January 2019. [19] His loan ended on 2 January 2019. [20]

On 21 November 2019 he moved on loan to Wrexham, initially for one month. [21] [22] On 19 December the loan was extended for a second month. [23] He returned to Bradford City at the end of his loan on 20 January 2020. [24]

Carlisle United

Patrick signed an 18-month contract with Carlisle United on 31 January 2020. [25]

Burton Albion

On 8 June 2021 it was announced that he would sign for Burton Albion on 1 July 2021, on a two-year contract. [26] [27]

Return to Carlisle United

On 6 January 2022, Patrick returned to Carlisle United on an 18-month contract. [28] [29] On 11 January 2022, Patrick joined Paul Baker, Paul Murray, and Hugh McIlmoyle as one of just four Carlisle players to score on his second permanent debut for the club. [30]

In May 2023 he scored a goal in the League Two play-off final. [31] He left the club at the end of the season. [32]

Sutton United

In July 2023 he signed for Sutton United. [33]

Playing style

Patrick can play across the forward line as a striker or a winger. Upon his signing for Barnsley, Bobby Hassell said "he's quick and strong so he will be a dangerous asset in our attacking play. He is also very hard working off the ball, which is a very important and a valuable skill to have." [11] He has been described by Bradford City Head of Recruitment Greg Abbott as being "lightning quick" and that he "runs in behind [the defence] and is good with both feet". [4]
