Paul Michael Borrington (born 24 May 1988 in Nottingham) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler who currently plays for Derbyshire.
Despite an disappointing debut which saw him only score four runs, against Leicestershire before being dismissed, in September 2005, he later played his part in getting Derbyshire up to what was then their highest ever total of 707-7 declared, thanks to two innings in excess of 150 from Steve Stubbings and Hassan Adnan, against Somerset. A gritty, determined, albeit not hugely successful, batsman for the Second XI, coach David Houghton's faith in the young player will provide him with the platform to achieve a good amount heading forward in his career
Borrington has evolved into a steady opening batsman for the Derbyshire team. He was rewarded the Denis Compton NBC Award for the most promising youngster at his club. Borrington's father, Anthony, also played First-class cricket for Derbyshire.
In September 2007 Borrington made his debut half-century for the Derbyshire team.
