Career
[edit]Partridge started his career in the youth system at Reading F.C. Progressing through the academy as under-18's captain, he went on to sign a professional one-year contract in July 2012.[2][3] In October 2012, he joined the Isthmian League Premier Division side Bognor Regis Town on a one-month loan deal.[4] In November, his loan was extended for a further month.[5] Having returned to Reading F.C. after the Boxing Day fixture, he remained a regular for the under-21s during the 2012–13 campaign.[2] In May 2013, he was offered a new one-year contract by Reading.[6]
In September 2013, he joined Conference South side Basingstoke Town on a one-month loan deal.[7] He scored on his debut in a 3–2 away defeat to Bromley, scoring the opening goal.[2] His second goal for the club came in a 3–1 defeat to Weston-super-Mare in the FA Cup.[8] In October, his loan at the club was extended for a further month.[9] In November, he scored the second in a 2–0 victory over Dover Athletic in the league.[8] At the end of the month, his loan expired, having made eight appearances and scoring three times.[10] At the end of December, he re-joined Basingstoke on loan until the end of the season.[10] His final goal for the club came in February 2014, in a 1–1 draw with Boreham Wood.[8] He finished the season having made fifteen appearances, scoring four goals in all competitions.[8]
In July 2014, having been released by Reading F.C., he signed for Football League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge on a one-year deal.[11] He made his professional debut in August 2014, starting in the Football League Cup tie against Brentford. The match ended in a 6–6 draw, equaling the record for the most goals scored in a League Cup game, with Brentford eventually advancing on penalties.[12]
In August 2015, after starting his second season with the club as a regular and just two months after signing a new deal, Partridge was released by Dagenham by mutual consent.[13] Four days later, he re-joined National League South side Basingstoke Town, only to sign for League Two club Newport County shortly after. He made his debut for Newport on 5 September 2015. He was released by Newport on 10 May 2016 at the end of his contract.[14] In the summer of 2017, he returned to Basingstoke Town for a third spell, making a total of thirty-eight appearances and scoring six goals upon his return.[15] In July 2017, he signed for National League South side Hungerford Town on a free transfer.[16]
On 22 May 2019, Partridge joined Gosport Borough.[17]
Personal life
[edit]He was raised in Thatcham, Berkshire and attended the Kennet School in the town.[18] In April 2014, he was given a twelve-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, after being found guilty of assaulting a motorcyclist in Woolhampton in August 2013.[18]
