Tyrone Barnett

Tyrone Barnett (born 28 October 1985) is an English professional footballer who plays for Southern League Premier Division Central club Alvechurch.

[5] He instead moved to Rushall Olympic, making his Southern League Division One South & West debut at the age of 19 in a 3–1 defeat to Clevedon Town.

His form at the start of the 2006–07 season, scoring nine goals in 16 appearances in all competitions,[7] led Northern Premier League Premier Division side AFC Telford United to sign Barnett in October 2006 in exchange for Dean Perrow joining Rushall on a one-month loan deal.

[12] In May 2010, Barnett moved to League Two side Macclesfield Town, joining former Hednesford teammate Ross Draper at Moss Rose.

[27] On 21 February 2012, Barnett signed an emergency loan deal for Championship side Peterborough United, with a permanent move worth £1.1 million agreed for the start of summer transfer window.

[42] Barnett made his first start in over six months in the opening game of the 2013–14 season, a 1–0 win over Swindon Town at London Road.

[44] He went on to add six league goals to his tally with strikes against Notts County,[45] Tranmere Rovers,[46] Crewe Alexandra,[47] Bristol City,[48] Preston North End[49] and Port Vale.

[53] Upon returning to Peterborough, Barnett was told to find a new club, as per United's policy for players entering the last year of their contract.

[54] On 2 September, Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony said that he was "stunned" that Barnett and his agent did not complete a move to League Two side Oxford United in time before the transfer window shut.

[60] In his last three games for Oxford, Barnett scored four times, including a five-minute brace on 6 December as the team drew 2–2 with Tranmere in the second round of the FA Cup.

[61] Oxford manager Michael Appleton said he would try to re-sign Barnett at the end of his spell, but admitted that he would face competition from other clubs.

[63] He made his debut five days later, replacing Mikael Mandron in the 57th minute and netting in the 85th to rescue a point in a 1–1 draw with Southend United at the New Meadow, thus preserving Shrewsbury's unbeaten home run.

[65] On 6 April, after replacing Akpa-Akpro at half-time, Barnett scored the only goal of the game to defeat Mansfield Town at Field Mill, connecting to Mark Ellis' cross in the 50th minute.

[66] Five days later, as a late substitute again for Akpa-Akpro, he hit an added-time half-volley to conclude a 4–0 home win over Exeter City.

[68] Barnett fell out of favour at Shrewsbury following their promotion to League One, and manager Micky Mellon handed him just one start in November and December.

[70] He scored on his "Shrimpers" debut in a 4–2 defeat at Swindon Town, [71] and found the net four more times during his loan spell as Southend finished the season in mid-table.

[77] He started just 11 league games throughout the 2016–17 season however, claiming five goals from a total of 44 appearances, before he secured his release from the Kingsmeadow after speaking with manager Neal Ardley.

[83] On 30 August 2018, Barnett joined League Two rivals Cheltenham Town on a half-season loan deal; "Robins" caretaker manager Russell Milton said that "the transfer is initially until January and he has the carrot there of staying on if he does well, so we will see what happens in the future.

[89] He top-scored for the "Spitfires" with 12 goals in 39 appearances throughout the 2019–20 season, triggering a contract extension to extend his stay at Ten Acres.

[68][92] After being released by Eastleigh, Barnett joined National League North side Hereford on 15 June 2022 as manager Josh Gowling's first signing of the summer.

In February 2012, Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson said that Barnett was "technically very good, has decent pace and he is one of the best strikers in the air that I have seen for a while".
