Career

Partridge started his career in the youth system at Reading 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 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 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 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 he signed for Football League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge on a one-year deal.
