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.

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. 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, however, both bids were turned down.

Fitzpatrick scored his first league goal for Partick Thistle in the 2–1 away win to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in February 2019.

Partick Thistle (second spell) 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.

Fitzpatrick signed a new one year contract extension with Thistle in June 2026, extending his deal until summer 2027.
