Omari Joshua Curtis Patrick (born 24 May 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger and forward for National League club Forest Green Rovers.

He trained at the FAB Academy and started his career in non-League with Beaconsfield SYCOB. He signed his first professional contract with Kidderminster Harriers and signed for his first EFL club with Barnsley, before moving to Bradford City a season later, where he made his Football League debut.

Early and personal life

[edit]

Patrick was born in Slough.[3] His father is Commonwealth Games Gold-winning athlete Adrian Patrick, and his godfather is sprinter Linford Christie.[4]

Career

[edit]

Beaconsfield SYCOB

[edit]

After leaving the FAB Academy, Patrick joined Beaconsfield SYCOB after having unsuccessful trials with Brentford, Barnet and Rangers. He scored on his debut against Bedford Town.[5] Whilst at the club he scored 14 goals in 49 matches over one and a half seasons,[6] and went on trial to Oxford United.[7]

Kidderminster Harriers

[edit]

On 5 December 2015, Patrick signed a contract with National League side Kidderminster Harriers.[8] He made his debut from the bench on the same day, against Gateshead.[3] At the end of the season, following Harriers' relegation and 18 appearances, Patrick was offered a new contract.[9]

Barnsley

[edit]

Following an impressive trial for Barnsley U23s, during which he scored against Ipswich Town U23s, he signed a one-year contract with the club on 21 September 2016. He was initially assigned to the development squad.[10][11] He never made a first-team appearance for Barnsley.[12]

Bradford City

[edit]

He signed a one-year contract with Bradford City in May 2017.[13] Following some "impressive" performances in pre-season friendlies, Patrick was praised by Bradford manager Stuart McCall.[14] He started the first game of the 2017–18 season, scoring the winning goal.[15][16] Following an "impressive start" to the season, Patrick signed a new three-year contract with the club in August 2017.[17] He was dropped from the first-team halfway through the 2017–18 season, and also suffered a knee injury.[18]

On 28 August 2018, Patrick joined League Two side Yeovil Town on loan until January 2019.[19] His loan ended on 2 January 2019.[20]

On 21 November 2019 he moved on loan to Wrexham, initially for one month.[21][22] On 19 December the loan was extended for a second month.[23] He returned to Bradford City at the end of his loan on 20 January 2020.[24]

Carlisle United

[edit]

Patrick signed an 18-month contract with Carlisle United on 31 January 2020.[25]

Burton Albion

[edit]

On 8 June 2021 it was announced that he would sign for Burton Albion on 1 July 2021, on a two-year contract.[26][27]

Return to Carlisle United

[edit]

On 6 January 2022, Patrick returned to Carlisle United on an 18-month contract.[28][29] On 11 January 2022, Patrick joined Paul Baker, Paul Murray, and Hugh McIlmoyle as one of just four Carlisle players to score on his second permanent debut for the club.[30]

In May 2023 he scored a goal in the League Two play-off final.[31] He left the club at the end of the season.[32]

Sutton United

[edit]

In July 2023 he signed for Sutton United.[33] Following relegation at the end of the 2023–24 season, Patrick departed the club having rejected the offer of a new contract.[34]

Tranmere Rovers

[edit]

In August 2024 he signed for Tranmere Rovers.[35] He scored 4 goals that month, becoming the club's top scorer, but by 11 October hadn't scored again.[36]

On 12 May 2026, the club announced he would be leaving in the summer once his contract expired.[37]

Forest Green Rovers

[edit]

Following the expiry of his contract at Tranmere, on 22 July 2026 it was announced that Patrick had signed for Forest Green Rovers on a two-year contract.[38]

Playing style

[edit]

Patrick can play across the forward line as a striker or a winger. Upon his signing for Barnsley, Bobby Hassell said "he's quick and strong so he will be a dangerous asset in our attacking play. He is also very hard working off the ball, which is a very important and a valuable skill to have."[11] He has been described by Bradford City Head of Recruitment Greg Abbott as being "lightning quick" and that he "runs in behind [the defence] and is good with both feet".[4]
