After the war, Partridge joined Ebbw Vale and scored 36 goals for them in the 1919–20 season. He then joined Manchester United for the next season and was a regular first team selection for the next three years. "...from inside left has developed into one of the fastest and cleverest left wingers playing. Is a regular box o' tricks and a real flyer."[5]
Partridge was placed on the transfer list at the end of the 1928–29 season and in early July 1929 it was announced that he'd been signed by Halifax Town.[6] His stay with Halifax was short-lived, as in November the team and Partridge agreed to part ways.[7] The following year, he was playing at Crewe Alexandra .[8][9] In 1931, he was made the captain of Darwen.[10]
