Playing career

Alloa Athletic

Sheerin signed as a professional for Alloa from junior side Whitehill Welfare, although he had been on the books of Celtic as a schoolboy.

Southampton

Paul Sheerin signed for Southampton in October 1992 and while at The Dell he played under several managers including Ian Branfoot, Alan Ball and Graeme Souness. However he failed to break through and left in December 1997 without having made a first team appearance.^[1]

During his time at Southampton he earned international recognition after playing for Scotland Under-21 in a 1–0 win over San Marino in November 1995.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle

After a summer playing in Sweden with Östersunds FK, he had a brief period back at his former club Alloa before joining Inverness Caledonian Thistle in January 1998. His stint at Caley Thistle lasted to the end of the 2000–01 season, in which period he made 136 appearances, scoring 45 goals. He then had spells at Ayr United and Aberdeen, where he finished as the top scorer in the 2002–03 season.

St. Johnstone

After leaving Aberdeen, Sheerin joined St. Johnstone on the eve of the 2004–05 season on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract.

On 15 November 2006, Sheerin was awarded the Scottish Football League "Player of the Month" award for October. In May 2008, Sheerin had his contract extended with St. Johnstone by another year. He also coached St. Johnstone U17s.^[2]

Management career

On 27 May 2010, Sheerin was confirmed as the new player/manager of Arbroath FC.^[3] Sheerin guided Arbroath to the Third Division championship in his first season in charge, the club's first national trophy win in their 133-year history.^[4]
