Aston Villa Daniel Paton made his Football League debut for Aston Villa on 17 March 1890 when they made the trip to the Victoria Ground, Stoke-on-Trent. Paton played at centre-forward. The match ended 1–1.

Paton made two appearances for Aston Villa early in the 1890–91 season, both at centre-forward. The Lancashire Evening Post of 11 October 1890 reported on the Aston Villa vs Everton match, played at Wellington Road on that day: "There were fully 12,000 spectators present, and a great enthusiasm was evinced. Paton re-appeared for the Villa, as did Albert Brown. Everton played their full strength team. At four o'clock Paton kicked off uphill for the Villa, and, with a grand, pretty run, nearly scored, the final shot shaving the post". The match ended 2–2, Paton scoring one of his side's goals. Paton's final appearance was on 18 October 1890; Villa travelled to the County Ground, Derby and lost a very high-scoring match 5–4.
