Patrick John Lane (born 18 February 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for EFL League One club Portsmouth.

Club career[edit]

Having previously played for Blackburn Rovers at youth level,[2] Lane came through Hyde United's youth academy, and started his senior career at the club.[3] He joined Farsley Celtic of the National League North on a one-month loan in November 2020,[2] and returned to the club on a second month-long loan the following month.[4] He made 9 appearances across his two loan spells at Farsley Celtic.[5] Having scored 13 goals in 67 appearances in all competitions for Hyde United, Lane signed for EFL League One club Fleetwood Town on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee in summer 2021.[3][6] He made his debut for the club on 11 September 2021 as a substitute in a 4–2 win away to Rotherham United,[7] and scored his first goal for the club on 25 September when he "cut inside and fired a fine finish into the far corner" to equalise in a 2–2 draw with Cambridge United.[8] He was named in the club's starting line-up for their following match on 28 September – a 1–1 draw with Milton Keynes Dons.[9] In December 2021, he signed a new contract with the club until the summer of 2024, with the option to extend the contract by a year.[10] After two goals and an assist in January 2022, he was nominated for the EFL League One Player of the Month award for that month,[11] but lost to Michael Smith of Rotherham United.[12] Lane ended his first season in professional football by winning the EFL League One Young Player of the Year award.[13] He was also awarded the Fleetwood Town Supporters' Player of the Year Award.[14]

In January 2023 Lane joined Portsmouth.[15] He scored his first goal for the club on 7 May 2023 against Wycombe Wanderers.[16]

International career[edit]

Born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, Lane was eligible to play for England, Wales, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland through heritage.[17] Lane has represented Northern Ireland six times at under-21 level, scoring once.[18]

Lane was called up to the senior Northern Ireland squad in March 2022.[19] Lane made his senior international debut on 29 March in a 1–0 defeat to Hungary, starting the game in left-wing-back position.[20]
