[5] He was released, aged 19, in 2005. [3]
Bartlett signed for Conference North club Blyth Spartans, playing the first game of his career at senior level against Wakefield & Emley on 10 September 2005. He played 14 games in his initial season, and followed this up with 47 in all competitions in 2006–07. [6] He signed a new one-year contract in August 2007. [7] He was named as Blyth's Player of the Season for the 2007–08 season. [8] Bartlett's impressive performances at Blyth Spartans led to an England C call up and upon his departure from the club he was inducted into Blyth Spartans' Hall of Fame. [9] During his final year at Blyth, he made six appearances for the England national C team. [10]
Bartlett signed for Conference Premier club Kidderminster Harriers on 27 May 2008 on a one-year contract. [11] He was an ever-present in the 2008–09 Conference Premier.

Bartlett had his Hartlepool contract cancelled by mutual consent on 21 March 2017 to take up a full-time role as an academy goalkeeping coach at Middlesbrough [28] [29] and moved into part-time football, signing for National League North club Darlington the following day. [27] He made eight appearances for Darlington in 2016–17 [30] as they finished fifth in the table. [31] However, Darlington were denied entry to the play-offs because their Blackwell Meadows ground did not meet seating requirements. [32]

[33] York had recently appointed Martin Gray as manager, who Bartlett played under at Darlington. [34] He eventually signed for York on 7 November 2017 for an undisclosed fee on a contract until June 2019. [35] He left York in May 2019 to pursue a career in sales with sporting goods manufacturers Core 37 and play part-time football for Whickham of the Northern League Division One. [36] [37]
