Paterson was one of the first, and most successful, of James Kerr's Scottish signings. Kerr was notorious for buying Scots and at least Paterson was Known to City fans, having played for Derby County for 3 years. He served Cowdenbeath well and even played 5 times for Glasgow Rangers during a loan spell in 1916. In his season at City, Paterson bagged 25 goals, which was the highest tally in a season for a City player since joining the League.

But Paterson was attracted to the United States, where he spent the rest of his career.
