Nathan Kenneth Patterson was born on October 16, 2001, in Glasgow, Scotland. His football journey began in the Rangers youth academy in 2009. He attended Holyrood Secondary School and participated in the Scottish Football Association’s ‘Performance Schools’ development program. Patterson signed his first professional contract with Rangers in December 2019, extending his stay until 2022. He made his senior debut for the club on January 17, 2020, in a Scottish Cup match against Stranraer. His league debut followed in August 2020 against Kilmarnock, and his European debut occurred in December 2020 against Lech Poznań. Patterson scored his first goal for Rangers in February 2021 during a UEFA Europa League match against Royal Antwerp, just 16.6 seconds after entering the game as a substitute. He was a regular player for Rangers during the latter part of their 2020–21 title-winning season.
Patterson’s tenure at Rangers included 13 league appearances and a total of 27 appearances across all competitions, scoring 2 goals. His performance at Rangers attracted attention from Premier League clubs, leading to his transfer to Everton. On January 4, 2022, Patterson signed a five-and-a-half-year deal with Everton for an undisclosed fee, reported to be around £11 million including add-ons. His initial period at Everton had a slow start, playing for the under-23 team and missing significant first-team action due to an ankle injury in April 2022 that required surgery. He made his Premier League debut for Everton during the 2022-23 season, featuring in 19 league matches. He continued to make appearances for Everton in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons, despite suffering another serious injury in April 2024 against Chelsea, returning to play nearly ten months later in a match against Manchester United.
Internationally, Patterson has represented Scotland at various youth levels, including U17, U18, U19, and U21. He received his first call-up to the senior Scotland national squad in May 2021 for the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament. He made his full international debut in June 2021 in a friendly against Luxembourg. Patterson scored his first international goal on November 12, 2021, against Moldova, a match that secured Scotland’s spot in a World Cup play-off. By June 2025, he had accumulated 23 caps for the Scotland national team, scoring 1 goal. Due to injuries, he missed out on UEFA Euro 2024.
