After being released by Peterborough United, Paul signed for Burscough but was immediately loaned out to the Brewers as a loophole in the transfer window was utilised to good effect.

Although signed just in time to make his debut, Paul was no stranger to the Burton players as he had faced them twice during the previous season in the FA Cup. Despite the setback of losing to the Brewers, it was overall a good season for Paul at London Road. He picked up the player of the season award, but a change of management in the summer saw him fall out of favour after just three games.

A vastly experienced player, Paul had made over 300 first team appearances in a career that had seen him play for Blackpool, Rochdale, Chester, Doncaster and Peterborough.

He added some much needed experience and creativity to the Albion midfield and he was seen as one of the players that the squad would be built around for the following season. However despite being offered a new contract, Paul opted instead to sign for Accrington Stanley in order to be closer to his family in the North West.
