He previously played for Chrobry Głogów in the I liga and has represented Poland at under-19 and under-20 level.[1][2]
Club career
Chrobry Głogów
Bartlewicz was born in Leszno and is from nearby Świerczyna. He began playing football with Tęcza-Osa Osieczna, later joined the youth teams of GKS Krzemieniewo, and moved to the academy of Chrobry Głogów in 2018.[3] Initially used as a winger, he was subsequently moved into central midfield.[3]
He made one I liga appearance for Chrobry's first team during the 2022–23 season. In the 2023–24 season, his first full senior campaign, he scored five goals in 31 league appearances. He followed this with six goals in 29 league matches in the next campaign.[2][4]
At the beginning of the 2025–26 season, Chrobry coach Łukasz Becella described Bartlewicz as one of the team's intended leaders and confirmed that Ekstraklasa clubs had shown interest in him.[4] Bartlewicz made 31 regular-season league appearances that season and also played in both promotion play-off matches.[2] Chrobry defeated ŁKS Łódź on penalties in the semi-final before losing 2–1 to Wieczysta Kraków in the final; Bartlewicz started both games.[5][6]
GKS Katowice
On 2 June 2026, Bartlewicz agreed to join Ekstraklasa club GKS Katowice as a free agent after the expiry of his Chrobry contract. He signed a deal until 30 June 2029, with an option for a further year.[7][8] His move followed Chrobry's unsuccessful promotion campaign, during which he had attracted interest from more than one top-flight club.[9]
He made his GKS debut on 23 July 2026, replacing Bartosz Nowak in the 84th minute of a 2–1 away defeat to MŠK Žilina in the UEFA Conference League second qualifying round.[10] Three days later, he made his Ekstraklasa debut as a substitute against Wisła Kraków. He scored four minutes after entering the match, although GKS lost 2–1.[11][12]
International career
Bartlewicz made three appearances for the Poland under-19 team in 2023.[3][2] He received his first under-20 call-up in October 2025. On 13 October, he came on as a substitute and scored twice in a 4–1 win over Switzerland.[3][13] He was selected again for under-20 fixtures in March 2026,[14] before being called into the Poland under-21 squad for European Championship qualifiers against Armenia and Montenegro. He remained an unused substitute in both matches.[15][7]
