Paul Michael Hurst (born 25 September 1974 in Sheffield) is an English footballer who plays in Football League 2 in England, for Rotherham, where he has played for over 10 years. He is married to Melanie and has one daughter called Molly.

There can rarely have been such a whole hearted player who has given better service to Rotherham United's cause over the years. He has been a loyal one-club player who always gives his best despite his lack of inches that opposing clubs have struggled to capitalise on.

Paul figured regularly on the left side of the back four and in this position he has performed well.

He has now played well over 450 games for the Millers and is on course to become the player with the most appearances for Rotherham United, a fine achievement.

FourFourTwo magazine decided before the 2007/08 season, that they would sponsor a player from every team within the top 4 divisions in England. Paul Hurst was the player they chose for Rotherham United.

On the 15th February, Paul joined Blue Square Premier side Burton Albion on a one month loan to regain his fitness after injury.

Paul was released by Rotherham United after 15 years at the club, at the end of the 2007-08 season. Paul has stated that he wants to return to Rotherham as part of the backroom staff in the future.^[1]
