Paddy signed an initial short-term contract for the Cornish Pirates in December 2019, having previously been at Northampton Saints.
Kildare-born, Paddy first played rugby from the age of six to 12 for Cill Dara RFC and then for Newbridge College where he was educated. Honours achieved saw him represent Leinster at under 17,18 and under 19 levels, before the exciting back-row prospect made the trip over the Irish Sea to join the Northampton Saints Academy.
During his time at Northampton Saints, Paddy scored a try to help seal a win for their Wanderers side against Exeter Braves in the 2017/18 Premiership Rugby A League Final, whilst last season he played for the Saints versus Wasps in the Premiership Cup.
An ACL knee injury provided a setback, however back to fitness the decision was made to sign for the Cornish Pirates. During his time on the sidelines he coached at Bedford Modern School and has studied Business and Management with The Open University.
