Barton was born in the Moseley district of Birmingham and played local football for Coles Farm Unity before joining Small Heath.[1] He played competitively only once for the club, in the opening game of the 1889–90 season, deputising at right-back when Fred Speller was switched to the left in the absence of Walter Gittins.[2] Barton died in Birmingham.[1]
