Kieren James Flavell (born 21 September 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL League One club Barnsley.

Career

Having joined Barnsley at the age of eight, Flavell overcame two serious knee injuries that ruled him out for over a year,[3] signing a new contract in January 2024.[4] Shortly after signing this deal, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Bradford (Park Avenue) on an initial one-month loan, later extended until the end of the season.[5][6]

On 29 October 2024, Flavell made his senior debut for Barnsley, playing the duration of a 3–1 EFL Trophy defeat to Doncaster Rovers.[7] The following week, he joined National League North side Farsley Celtic on loan.[8]

On 15 March 2025, Flavell made his league debut for the Tykes after starting goalkeeper Jackson Smith suffered an injury in the opening fifteen minutes of an eventual 2–1 defeat to Mansfield Town.[9] With interim manager Conor Hourihane opting against bringing in an emergency loan, Flavell was trusted to start the following fixture, speaking of his desire to establish himself as the club's first-choice goalkeeper before the end of the season.[10][11]
