The American-born England youth international spent three seasons at Manchester United, usually third choice.
Paul Rachubka found success lower down the League pyramid, notably at Huddersfield Town and Blackpool.
He made his domestic debut for Manchester United when he came on as a late substitute in the Worthington Cup Third Round tie at Watford after Rai Van Der Gouw had received a red card.
A goalkeeping crisis in March then gave him a rare opportunity to shine in the 2-0 defeat of Leicester City at Old Trafford.
The Reds' rookie 'keeper said he had sleepless nights thinking about being called up for the first-team but, performance-wise, he was excellent.
The signing of Andy Goram from Motherwell in April then put paid to a more regular slot.
After earlier loan stints, Paul completed a move to Huddersfield Town in December 2004 with a contract to June 2007.
After a loan spell, Paul joined Blackpool in July 2007 with a two-year contract that was extended to June 2011 in April 2009.
He joined Leeds United in July 2011 with a two-year contract but was made available for transfer in May 2012.
Paul joined Oldham Athletic in September 2013 with a contract to January 2014 that was then extended to June 2014 and to June 2015 in June 2014 before it was cancelled in February 2015.
He joined Crewe Alexandra in February 2015 with a contract to June 2015.
Paul joined Bolton Wanderers in September 2015 with a one-year contract.
He joined Bury in August 2016 with a one-year contract.
