Aidan Fitzpatrick (born 20 March 2001) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Scottish Championship club Partick Thistle and has previously played for Norwich City and Queen of the South.
Club career
[edit]Partick Thistle (first spell)
[edit]From Partick in Glasgow, Fitzpatrick started playing football at St Peters Primary School. He was recommended to Partick Thistle and progressed through the club's youth system.[2]
Fitzpatrick debuted for the first-team versus Albion Rovers in the 2018–19 Scottish League Cup in July 2018, coming on as a substitute and scoring a goal in the 2–0 win. He was the first player born in the 21st century to play for Partick Thistle.[3] On his first starting appearance versus Stranraer in the 2018–19 Scottish Challenge Cup, Fitzpatrick scored two goals and had an assist in a 5–0 victory, winning an Irn-Bru Golden Balls award.[2] He signed a new long-term contract in September 2018.[4] Thistle confirmed in January 2019 that the club had received two bids for Fitzpatrick, one in the summer of 2018 and one in January 2019,[5] however, both bids were turned down.[6]
Fitzpatrick scored his first league goal for Partick Thistle in the 2–1 away win to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in February 2019. The following month, he scored a stoppage time winner for Thistle in a 2–1 home win over Dundee United.[7] In his first season of senior football, Fitzpatrick made 28 appearances for the Firhill club across all competitions, scoring seven goals and having four assists.[5]
Norwich City
[edit]On 5 July 2019, Fitzpatrick signed for Premier League club Norwich City for a fee reported to be in the region of £350,000.[8]
Queen of the South
[edit]On 24 August 2020, Fitzpatrick signed for Scottish Championship club Queen of the South in a season-long loan deal.[9] On 8 September 2021, after securing his contract release from Norwich, he signed a one-year permanent contract with Queen of the South.[10]
Partick Thistle (second spell)
[edit]On 13 July 2022, Fitzpatrick signed a two-year deal with Partick Thistle once again. Although his contract at previous club Queen of the South had expired, the Doonhamers held out for a compensation fee, due to the player still being under 23 years old.[11][12]
In June 2023 Fitzpatrick extended his contract with Thistle, adding an extra two years on to his deal, extending it until June 2026.[13]
Fitzpatrick signed a new one year contract extension with Thistle in June 2026, extending his deal until summer 2027.[14]
