Professional career
Houston Dynamo
Bartlow signed a Generation Adidas contract on January 19, 2021.[9] He was selected 6th overall by the Houston Dynamo in the 2021 MLS SuperDraft.[10] Bartlow made no appearances during his rookie season after he suffered a concussion in preseason that kept him sidelined through August and the mid-season arrival of DP centerback Teenage Hadebe placed Bartlow low on the depth chart.[11]
He made his professional debut playing for the team's MLS Next Pro side on March 26, 2022, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 win over Whitecaps FC 2.[12] Bartlow made his debut for the first team on April 2, starting in a 3–1 win over Inter Miami.[13] He made 15 MLS appearances, 9 of them starts, during the season as the Dynamo finished 13th in the Western Conference, missing out on the playoffs.[13][14] Bartlow also made 2 appearances in the U.S. Open Cup.[15]
Houston declined his contract option following the 2025 season.[16]
