As a youth he won international honours with the England Academy.[8] He made his first team début against Castleford in round 5 of 2009's Super League XIV.[9]

Of Welsh heritage, Patrick committed to Wales at international level and made his international début in the opening match of the 2013 Rugby League World Cup.

In November 2014, Patrick joined Wigan Warriors on a season-long loan in an exchange deal for Jack Hughes.[10]

He played in the 2015 Super League Grand Final defeat by the Leeds Rhinos at Old Trafford.[11]

In April 2016, Patrick joined Castleford Tigers on loan for the remainder of the season.[12] This was later converted into a permanent deal when he signed a 3 year contract in June 2016.[13] However, the contract was ended early when Patrick signed a two-year deal with Leigh in October 2017.[14]
