His performance against Bastia earned him regular appearances on PSG's bench for Ligue 1 matches, though he regularly played for PSG's CFA team during the 2007–08 and 2008–09 seasons. He finally made his Ligue 1 debut on 7 February 2009 in a 4–1 victory over Nantes, coming on as a late-match substitute.[3]
On 18 February 2009, Partouche made his European debut in a match against Wolfsburg in the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup.[4] He came on as a substitute in the 71st minute as PSG were victorious 2–0 thanks to two late goals from Guillaume Hoarau.[5]

Créteil
In June 2011, Partouche joined Championnat National side Créteil. He scored a total of 3 league goals in 32 appearances in one season at the club, but left after the expiration of his one-year contract.[7]
Partouche joined Versailles in October 2012 after training with the team for over a month. There, he reunited with his former PSG youth coach Franck Bentolila.[7]
Jura Sud
In January 2014, Partouche signed for Jura Sud. He would stay at the club two seasons, making 65 league appearances and scoring 9 goals in that time.
