He remained in Fall River until the summer of 1930, winning the 1930 National Challenge Cup before moving to the Newark Americans.

The ASL was collapsing by the fall of 1931 and records are incomplete, but it appears that in 1933, Patenaude signed with the Philadelphia German-Americans of the second American Soccer League.

Central Breweries, stocked with future Hall of Famers, won the league and 1935 National Challenge Cup titles.

[5] In 1936, Patenaude returned east where he played one season with Philadelphia Passon of the ASL before he disappeared from the professional scene.

[7] Following the U.S. elimination by Argentina in the semifinals, the U.S. went on an exhibition tour of South America, ending with a 4–3 loss to Brazil in which Patenaude scored his sixth and final U.S. goal and never again appeared with the national setup.

Patenaude's historic day came on July 17, 1930, as the United States played Paraguay in the inaugural World Cup.

[9][10] The dispute and discrepancies over the second goal had led to confusion over the first-ever World Cup hat-trick, as Argentina's Guillermo Stábile scored one against Mexico just two days after the U.S.-Paraguay game.
