Paul Heffernan (born December 29th, 1981) is an Irish footballer currently playing for Doncaster Rovers in England He is a quick and sharp finisher and is relishing his time at Doncaster Rovers after a stop and start career at Notts County and Bristol City.
Bristol City paid £150,000 for him in 2004, but due to the superb form of Steve Brooker and Leroy Lita, his chances in the first team were limited. Doncaster then signed him in 2005 for £125,000.
A common Rovers fans chant is "we've got Paul Heffernan!" Paul has recenty signed a 2 year extension at Doncaster Rovers. This does not come as a shock to many Rovers fans after his extrodinary run of form. Having scored 7 in 5 games including a pair of braces against Crewe in the Johnstones Paint Trophy. Many now feel he is ready for full international honours.
Paul is currently injured with an ankle problem. Although he is not scoring he is still in the heart of all Rovers fans, hoping, praying for his swift return to the side. Doncaster Rovers need him back as soon as possible to aid their charge to the play off places.
