Shaun Patton, born in 1995 and from Letterkenny, is an Irish goalkeeper who has played at a high level in two sports. He began as a professional soccer player in the League of Ireland with Derry City, Finn Harps and Sligo Rovers, and represented the Republic of Ireland at schoolboy level, before switching to Gaelic football in 2018 and joining St Eunan's and the Donegal county team. Under manager Declan Bonner he became Donegal's first-choice goalkeeper during the 2018 National Football League, and he has won the Ulster Senior Football Championship four times, in 2018, 2019, 2024 and 2025, as well as National Football League Division 2 titles in 2019 and 2024. With St Eunan's he won the Donegal Senior Football Championship in 2021 and 2024. His kick-outs have drawn comparisons with those of Paul Durcan and Stephen Cluxton.
