Lewis Budinauckas

Lewis Budinauckas of Partick Thistle was born on 19 June 2002 (age 23).

Lewis Budinauckas, born on 19 June 2002 (age 23), is a Scottish goalkeeper whose senior career is tied most clearly to Partick Thistle.

He has been around the first-team picture at Firhill across two seasons, wearing the number one shirt and making 11 league appearances. His busiest league campaign came in 2024-25, when he played eight times.

In 2025-26, Budinauckas has made three Championship appearances and five more in the League Cup for Partick Thistle. His profile on Transfermarkt reflects a goalkeeper still building a senior body of work rather than one with a long list of clubs behind him.

So far, his career is a compact one: Scottish, Firhill-based, and defined by the task of turning squad involvement at Partick Thistle into regular first-team football.

Budinauckas's recent career has been shaped by loans from Rangers rather than a settled first-team run. Spells at Stranraer, Greenock Morton and Partick Thistle came before the switch to Partick was made permanent in July 2025, leaving him at 23 still trying to turn short-term opportunities into a regular senior role.
