In 2008, Barton moved with his family to San Diego when his father was named as the U-18 coach for Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer.[1][2]

While playing for the Cathedral Catholic High School boys soccer team, Barton was named to the 2015 and 2016 All-San Diego Section first teams, and won player of the year for the 2016 season.[3][4]

After originally being committed to play soccer for UC Santa Barbara, Barton opted to instead join the Sounders' academy system.[5] On August 1, 2016, during an interview done by Barton's father, it was announced Barton had signed to be a part of the Sounders' academy.[1]

Barton appeared for 61 minutes before being subbed off.[6] He made his first start on May 28, 2017, in a 2–2 draw against Sacramento Republic FC.[7]

In late 2019 Barton was signed by San Diego 1904 FC ahead of the team's inaugural season in the newly established National Independent Soccer Association.

In October 2016, Barton was called up by Brad Friedel to the USA under-19 side for a training camp and friendly against Club Tijuana.[8]
