A product of the Thistle Weir Youth Academy, Zander Mackenzie signed with the club as a modern apprentice in May 2022.
The midfielder, who joined the academy at under 12s level, spent time in training with the Thistle first team during the 2021/22 season, latterly going out on loan to Petershill FC.
He made his first team debut on the opening day of the 22/23 term, coming on as a substitute in a 2-1 win over Stenhousemuir. He would go on to make 15 further appearances before the end of the campaign.
Zander signed a three-year contract extension with the club in July 2023.
To kick off the 23/24 term, he made his first start as a Thistle player, filling in for Jack McMillan at right-back away to Peterhead. He did so again in the following game away to Dundee United winning the Viaplay Sports Man of the Match award for his display in a 2-1 victory.
His 23/24 season ended having made 24 appearances in total including seven starts for Kris Doolan’s side.
