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]

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.
