Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bartlow.
Judged on this season alone, Bartlow graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the USL Championship, on 0 clean sheets and 3.06 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 7). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, top 4% of the 56 centre-backs in the USL Championship. At 26 Bartlow is in his prime years, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Tampa Bay Rowdies finished 1st of 13 · a title-challenging side
3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 13) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.9, Bartlow carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the USL Championship of 56 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
