Standing at 5'5", his low center of gravity and technical ability have defined his career. Payne came through the youth system at Gillingham, making his senior debut as a teenager and quickly showcasing his eye for a pass and set-piece delivery. His performances earned him a move to Huddersfield Town, where he experienced Championship football and became a fan favorite for his creative spark.
