Pattinson signed for Bristol City in August 2018.[6] Signed in the first window under new manager Tanya Oxtoby, she became an integral part of the team, appearing in all but one WSL game as Bristol finished 6th. A foot injury caused Pattinson to miss the first half of the 2019–20 season, only returning to the side in December as the team battled relegation.[7] She spent two seasons with the club, deciding to leave after the expiration of her contract in June 2020 despite what the club admitted in their statement was substantial offer to retain her services.[8]
On 7 July 2020, it was announced Pattinson had signed a two-year deal with Everton.[9] She left Everton at the end of her contract in June 2022.[10]

On 1 June 2019, Pattinson was called up for the under-21 team for the U23 Open Nordic Tournament, appearing in a 4–1 over the Netherlands.[17] She was involved with the under-21 team again in March 2020 for a double-header of friendlies against France with England winning both.[18]
