Paul Chow

Paul Chow is an English semi-professional footballer currently playing for Whitley Bay F.C. in the Northern Football League Division One He scored Whitley Bay's second goal against Glossop North End in the 2009 FA Vase Final

Paul started his career playing junior football for St. Joseph's RC Primary School winning the Oswald Shield, the Alan Grimes Cup and the league championship, in his debut season. His eye for goal and all-round ability was soon noticed as he was snapped up by Newcastle United FC academy.

Paul (then aged 15) was also a part of the South Tyneside County schools football team who reached the national finals and played against an Islington and Camden side boasting promising star Gifton-Noel Williams, who later went on to ply his trade for Watford FC in the premiership.

Paul began to play Sunday morning football for The Longship where he was approached and signed by Jarrow Roofing Manager/Chairman Ritchie McLaughlin after bagging a perfect hat trick in the final of the league cup. Once signed, Paul went from strength to strength becoming club top goal scorer in his first season. Many accolades followed including player of the year and league top goal scorer.

In between his two stints at Jarrow Roofing he signed for Durham City FC, returning to Jarrow Roofing a season later.

After a frustrating second spell at Roofing, he decided to take a step up and sign for league champions Whitley Bay FC. After two consecutive seasons of 30+ goals, he became only the third player in Whitley's history to score 40 goals in a season for The Bay, a feat he achieved whilst playing in the FA Vase final at Wembley.
