Lincoln City
Born in Church Village, near Pontypridd, Warlow is a product of Lincoln City's Center of Excellence youth academy. He made his professional debut on 10 February 2007 in a 2-0 win over Torquay United, going on to make a total of 5 appearances for the side in his first season and being handed a two year contract.[2] After featuring in the first team squad more during the 2007–08 season, he joined Conference National side Kettering Town on loan at the start of the 2008–09 season, making four appearances before returning to Lincoln.
Llanelli
However Warlow did not feature for the club during the remainder of the season and was released in May 2009, along with six other players.[3] On 16 June 2009, it was announced that Warlow had signed for Welsh Premier League side Llanelli on a free transfer,[4][5] after spending time training with the side.[6] He made his debut as a 51st minute substitute in place of player-manager Andy Legg during Llanelli's Europa League victory over Motherwell.
He departed the club, by mutual consent, in March 2011 in order to move to Barcelona where his girlfriend had recently moved to for work reasons.[7]
