This exciting winger made a permanent move to Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer of 2000 but after starting the first few games his form dropped off and he was relegated to the subs' bench for much of the autumn.
He came back into the side in December as his confidence increased, he returned to his best form.
Paul, who has good pace and excellent ball control and can play on either flank if required, was made available for transfer by Brentford in May 2006 before his contract was cancelled in August 2007.
