Paul McLaren (born November 17, 1976, High Wycombe) is a footballer, currently playing as a midfielder for Tranmere Rovers.
He began his career as a trainee for Luton Town playing over 160 games over 8 seasons. He left Luton to step up a Division for Sheffield Wednesday where he played 96 games and scored 6 goals. He was released however, by Chris Turner after failure to gain promotion to The Championship. He has since played for Rotherham United F.C. under Ronnie Moore and in the 2006/07 close season signed a two-year for Moore's new club Tranmere Rovers having been released by Rotherham. In his debut season at the centre of the Rovers midfield McLaren started 42 of Tranmere's 46 games in League One, and a further 43 the following season.
He is a central midfielder, with an excellent assist record, he got 13 during the 2007 - 2008 season. This is mainly due to his excellent passing and set piece abilty. He has been offered a new contract at the club and most Tranmere fans hope he stays as he is an integral part of the Rovers midfield.
