Biography:
A promising young full-back, Conor McLaughlin has played for Northern ireland through the schoolboy and youth teams, making his Under-21 debut as an eighteen-year-old against San Marino in March 2010. Also capable of playing anywhere on the right or in central midfield, McLaughlin was promoted to Preston's senior squad for the first time in September 2009 and signed his first professional contract the following Januray. He made his senior debut in a 2-0 defeat by Hull in November 2010 and thereafter was established in the firstteam until suffering a broken leg and dislocated ankle during a 4-0 defeat by Bristol City in February 2011. He returned to the field early in the following season and earned his first senior Northern Ireland call-up for the October double-header with Estonia and Italy.

McLaughlin's younger brother Ryan is currently at Liverpool and the pair played alongside each other for Northern Ireland during the 2014 South American tour.

Biography:
After a prolific start to the 2007/08 season, Scunthorpe striker Mark Paterson was called into the Northern Ireland squad for the November games against Denmark and Spain.

Primarily a front-man, he has also been known to play wide on the left or right. A real starlet in his young days at Stoke, he scored the goal that put Manchester United out of the FA Youth Cup, finished leading scorer in the Youth team and was named 'Academy Player of the Season'.
..
Previously capped at Youth level, Paterson made his Under-21 debut as a substitute in a 4-0 defeat by Wales in February 2007. He made his full debut as a late substitute in the final match of the Euro 2008 campaign, a 1-0 defeat by Spain.

Paterson moved to Burnley in June 2008. The Clarets had been chasing his signature for a number of months and the initial bid of £400,000 grew to £1,000,000 plus a £300,000 appearance clause. His 19 goals helped fire Burnley to the Carling Cup semi-final and promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs. The pick of his strikes was a 30-yard left foot effort against Reading in the play-off semi-final.

Although he played a key role in Burnley's excellent start to life in the Premier League, including in wins over Manchester United and Everton, the one think lacking from Paterson's top-flight performances was a goal - indeed he was guilty of some very poor finishing, notably against Chelsea. He was then ruled out by injury for several months and in his absence Burnley began to struggle. He returned to playing in late January and scored his first Premier League goal in a 5-2 defeat by Aston Villa on 21st Febraury. Two further goals could do little to fire the Clarets clear of the relegation places and their demotion was confirmed following a 4-0 defeat by Liverpool with two matches still to play.

Since Burnley's relegation from the Premier League Paterson's appearances for club and country have been limited by a series of fitness problems. He finally broke his Northern Ireland goalscoring duck when  he converted a late penalty, which he won, in a friendly draw with Finland in August 2012.

After lengthy contract negotiations with Burnley, Paterson joined Huddersfield in June 2013. He scored his second international goal with a header in a famous 1-0 World Cup qualification win over Russia that August. He struggled to establish himself at Huddersfield and had loan spells at Bristol City, Fleetwood and with MLS side, Orlando City. Whenever his Huddersfield contract expired at the end of the 2014/15 season Paterson signed a permanent deal with Orlando, though his injury ravaged stay was cut short as he was released that August.

Paterson signed for League One Blackpool in September, though he was unable to make an impact on the crisis-hit club and was released following their relegation. He joined Port Vale early in the following season.
