Paul Tait (born 24 October 1974 in Newcastle) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker. Tait is a former Everton trainee who has become a much travelled player having played for ten different clubs with his most productive spell coming at Bristol Rovers between 2002 and 2004.
At Chester City, Tait was the final first-team player signed by Keith Curle just over a week before the manager was released in February 2006. He struggled to make an impact under successor Mark Wright and subsequently moved on to Boston United three months later.
He signed for Southport in January 2007 after initially being on loan from Boston United, although his Southport career was hampered by a serious facial injury that has sidelined him for much of January 2007 and onwards.[1] He was released by Southport in May 2007 and returned to Northwich two months later. After being placed on the transfer list by manager Dino Maamria.[2] Tait moved on to Barrow A.F.C. whom he helped gain promotion to Conference National in 2008. He was released by the Bluebirds in May 2009.
