Playing career

In 2018, Bartlett underwent double shoulder reconstruction surgery, missing the entire season. She had dislocated her shoulders 16 teams before undergoing surgery.[2][3]

On 22 June 2019, she made her debut for New Zealand, starting on the wing and scoring a try in a 46–8 win over Samoa.[4] In September 2019, she joined the New Zealand Warriors NRL Women's Premiership team. In Round 1 of the 2019 NRL Women's season, she made her debut for the Warriors in a 16–12 win over the Sydney Roosters.[5]

On 19 October 2019, she came off the bench in New Zealand's 17–15 2019 Rugby League World Cup 9s final win over Australia.[6]

In September 2020, Bartlett was one of five New Zealand-based Warriors' players to travel to Australia to play in the 2020 NRL Women's premiership. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the players had to quarantine for 14 days on entering Australia and 14 days on return to New Zealand when the season was completed.[7]
