Carlisle United have been linked with Partick Thistle winger Aidan Fitzpatrick, with reports in Scotland naming the National League club among the sides watching the 25-year-old this summer. The interest comes as Fitzpatrick enters the final stretch of a season that could yet decide where he plays next.

The Daily Record say Carlisle and Doncaster Rovers are both keen on the wide man, who is out of contract this summer and has made 46 appearances while scoring five goals this season. Fitzpatrick has been with Partick Thistle since the summer of 2022, after coming through the club's youth system and having spells at Norwich City and Queen of the South.

His future may hinge on what happens over the next few days. Mark Wilson's side finished second in the Championship and now host Dunfermline Athletic on Friday in the second leg of their play-off semi-final, with the tie level at 1-1 after the first leg. Partick Thistle are still pushing for promotion to the Scottish Premiership, and that outcome could shape whether Fitzpatrick stays or moves on.

For Carlisle, the situation is part of a broader summer plan as they prepare for a second season in the National League. The club signed left-back Cameron Harper from Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the summer of 2024, and any move for Fitzpatrick would fit a market in which experienced wide players with Scottish Football League and academy pedigree remain attractive. For Partick Thistle, the immediate priority is far more urgent: get past Dunfermline, keep the promotion push alive, and only then confront the uncertainty around one of their most productive attacking options.
