Zanatta made his Jags debut on the 31st of August against Ayr United, winning a penalty for the opener before assisting Shea Gordon after dribbling past 5 opposition players. He was named man of the match on his debut appearance. Zanatta scored his first goal for the Jags in a 3-1 away league win against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

In August 2018, Zanatta moved on loan to Scottish Championship club Alloa Athletic until January 2019. He would be named Championship player of the month for December 2018. After a strong first half of the season with Alloa, Zanatta was rewarded with a one year contract extension with Hearts, with his loan being extended to the end of the 2018-19 season.

Zanatta returned from loan in December 2016, and made his Hearts season debut against Kilmarnock, drawing and missing a penalty. On 31 January 2017, Zanatta joined Queen's Park on another loan, this time, until the end of season.

On 31 August 2017, it was revealed that Zanatta had joined Raith Rovers on a loan deal until the end of the season. After impressing in his loan spell, Zanatta was recalled by Hearts in January 2018, and his departure was considered a significant blow to Rovers' promotion battle with Ayr United. In his first appearance with Hearts after his recall, Zanatta would score his first goal for the club in a 3–0 win over Hamilton Academical. At the end of January 2018, Zanatta was loaned again to Raith Rovers for the rest of the 2017–18 season.

In September 2016, Hearts announced they had loaned Zanatta to Queen's Park of the Scottish League One on a one-month emergency loan. He made his debut for Queen's Park on 24 September 2016 against Albion Rovers, impressing after only being with the squad for one training session. In November 2016, Zanatta scored his first goal as a professional in a match against Stranraer.

In August 2016, Zanatta was called up to the Canada U-20 team for a pair of friendlies against Costa Rica and scored a goal in the first match. In February 2017, Zanatta was named to Canada's roster for the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship

Zanatta signed his first professional contract on 6 August 2015, signing with Scottish Premiership side Heart of Midlothian, on a two-year contract, initially joining up with the club's under-20 side. Zanatta made his first team debut on 31 October, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute in a Scottish Premiership match against Partick Thistle at Firhill Stadium, replacing Sam Nicholson in a 4–0 win. In January 2016, Zanatta was originally expected to be loaned to a lower division club, but he impressed Hearts coach Robbie Neilson enough to stay with the first team.

Zanatta grew up playing for Gorge Soccer Association and Lower Island Metro during his childhood years. As a teenager, he played for the Victoria Capitals youth program before joining Vancouver Whitecaps Residency in 2011, aged 14. Zanatta was offered a spot in the academy and slowly worked his way up the academy ranks. He left Vancouver in February 2015, having been unable to agree to terms on a contract and set his ambitions on Europe and went on trial with several European clubs, including Ipswich Town, IFK Göteborg and Heart of Midlothian.
