Biography
After being released by hometown club Burnley at the age of 15,[2] Payton began his career as an apprentice at Hull City, signing a professional contract in 1985.[3] He joined Middlesbrough for £700,000 in November 1991,[3] which remained Hull's record sale for 15 years, before signing for Celtic in August 1992. After just over a year at Celtic, he returned to England to play for Barnsley. In 1996 Huddersfield Town signed him for £325,000,[3] before selling him to Burnley as part of a swap deal with Paul Barnes in 1998. After five years at Burnley, including a loan spell at Blackpool where he scored once against Bury,[4] he ended his career in non-league football with Stalybridge Celtic and then Colne.
