Career
[edit]Pettifer came through the Bolton Wanderers Academy,[3] which he joined at the age of seven.[4]
Pettifer made his Bolton debut on 5 October 2021 in a 4–1 victory against Liverpool U21's in the EFL Trophy, coming on in the 72nd minute as a substitute for Josh Sheehan.[5] On 30 November 2021, he made his first appearance against a professional team in a 1–0 victory against Fleetwood Town, also in the EFL Trophy, coming on in the 70th minute as a substitute for the game's goalscorer Kieran Lee.[6]
On 13 June 2022, Pettifer became one of the five Academy graduates that signed their first professional contracts with Bolton.[7][8]
On 26 August 2022, Pettifer joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Atherton Collieries on a short-term loan deal alongside teammate Finlay Lockett.[9] The loan was later extended until January 2023[10] and then February.[11] On 25 May 2023, he signed a new one-year deal with the option for an extra year.[12] 18 August 2023 he signed for Warrington Town on loan for a month.[13]
On 2 February 2024, Pettifer left Bolton after 14 years with the club, signing on a permanent basis for League of Ireland Premier Division club St Patrick's Athletic.[14] He made his debut the following day in a Leinster Senior Cup game away to St Mochta's in which he was sent off in the 41st minute for a last man foul in his own box.[15] That proved to be his only senior appearance for the club, as he joined NIFL Premiership side Cliftonville on 30 August 2024.[16]
