Adrián Paz (born 9 September 1966) is a former professional footballer.

After playing in Uruguay and Argentina, Paz moved to Ipswich Town during the 1994–95 season in a joint transfer with the Argentinian defender Mauricio Taricco. He became the first Uruguayan to play in the English Premier League.[1] In January 1996, Major League Soccer began allocating players to its newly established teams. Paz was sent to the Columbus Crew where he played 27 games. On February 1, 1997, the Crew sent Paz to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for the first-round selection in the 1997 MLS Supplemental Draft.[2] He spent two seasons in Colorado before moving to Tianjin Teda in 1999. He only played one game for Tianjin as he suffered a serious injury during his first game, against Shanghai Shenhua, and was out injured until the end of 1999. He rejoined Bella Vista in Uruguay in 2000, then went back to China for a third time, where he played for Qingdao Etsong before retiring from football at the end of the season.

International career

He made his debut for Uruguay in a friendly match against Brazil (1-0 win) on April 30, 1992, in the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo under coach Luis Alberto Cubilla.[3] He went on to score the winner in that game.
