Kyle Louie A. Bartley[2] (born 22 May 1991) is an English footballer who plays for English Premier League team Arsenal, as a defender.

He started his career with Arsenal, making his debut in 2009. He spent some of the 2009 season and the first half of the 2010 season with Sheffield United in the English Championship. He then spent the second half of the 2010 season with Scottish Premier League club Rangers and returned to them for the 2011-12 campaign. He has also represented England at u16 and u17 level.

Club career

Early career

Born in Manchester, Greater Manchester, Bartley began his career with Bolton Wanderers and signed for Arsenal on 31 July 2007. He has captained Arsenal reserves and was also part of the team that won the FA Youth Cup in 2009.

2009–10 season

Bartley made his professional début for Arsenal on 9 December 2009, in a Champions League match against Olympiacos.[3] Bartley signed a three month loan deal with Sheffield United in February 2010 to act as defensive cover.[4] He played regularly during his time at Bramall Lane and returned to Arsenal at the end of the campaign having played 14 times.

2010–11 season

Bartley scored his first goal for Rangers against St Mirren on 6 March 2011

On the eve of the following season, Bartley returned to Sheffield United on a season-long loan deal.[5] In late September, Bartley suffered a broken cheekbone in a clash with Nottingham Forest striker Dele Adebola.[6] After a month out, he returned and was ever present until the January transfer window, when the Blades signed Neill Collins. Bartley feared losing his place in the team and asked to leave.[7] His request was accepted and Bartley moved on loan to Scottish side Rangers, on the last day of the transfer window.[8] Bartley scored his first goal for Rangers, his first ever senior goal, in a 1-0 victory over St. Mirren on 6 March 2011.[9]

Bartley returned to his parent club Arsenal after sustaining a knee ligament injury which was set to keep him out of action for the remainder of the season,[10] though he has expressed an interest in returning to Rangers on loan.[11]

2011–12 season

Bartley was a 74th minute substitute for Laurent Koscielny in the final round of the Emirates Cup, a pre-season friendly competition. He scored an own goal in the 84th minute, as Arsenal lost the competition to the New York Red Bulls.[12] On 3 August 2011, Bartley signed a new contract with Arsenal.[13] The next day, he agreed to return to Rangers on a season-long loan.[14]

International career

Bartley has represented England at under-16 and under-17 levels.[15]
