A tall seam bowler and right hand lower order batsman, Patterson made his first-class debut in 2005 against Bangladesh A, having first played one-day cricket for his native county in 2002. Patterson attended Leeds University from 2002 to 2005, where he studied mathematics whilst playing part-time for Yorkshire County Cricket Club. Six first-class matches, up to the end of 2006, brought him 85 runs at 14.16, with a best score of 46 and two wickets.

Patterson secured a regular County Championship place in the side at the start of the 2010 season.

Patterson was appointed as captain of the side for the 2019 season,[2] and continued in that role until 2022.[3] In September 2022 he announced his retirement.[4]
