Joseph Michael "Joe" Partington (born 1 April 1990) is a Wales Under-21 international footballer. Partington signed for Portsmouth Youth in 2001 after being spotted playing for Gosport & Fareham under 11's. He joined the Welsh under 16's in 2005 and was part of the successful Victory Shield squad who were joint winners with England in 2005. He currently plays for Bournemouth in Football League Two as a central midfielder.

Born in Portsmouth, Partington joined Bournemouth in June 2006 after being released by Portsmouth F.C. He made his first team debut for Bournemouth on 9 February 2008, against Luton Town.[1] Bournemouth won the game 4–1. Partington came on as a late substitute for Marvin Bartley.
On 5 April, Partington scored his first professional goal. This was a crucial goal at The Liberty Stadium in the 90th minute against top of the league side Swansea City. Moments after, Bournemouth stunned the home crowd by clawing back another goal from Jo Kuffour to win the game 2–1.
On 7 May, Bournemouth manager Kevin Bond announced he had offered Partington, along with Youth Team goalkeeper Ryan Pryce and winger Josh McQuoid a professional contract with the club.
