Ryan Jack Barnett (born 23 September 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for EFL League One club Wrexham AFC.

Career

Shrewsbury Town

Barnett joined the Shrewsbury Town youth system in 2007,[2] and received his first call-up to the senior squad by manager Paul Hurst on 26 December 2016, where he was an unused substitute in an away EFL League One match at Bolton Wanderers.[3] He signed a two-and-a-half-year professional contract with the club in February 2017 - with the option of a further year - whilst still a first-year scholar.[4]

The following season, Barnett made his professional debut as a substitute in a 3−0 victory against West Bromwich Albion U21s in an EFL Trophy group-stage match, coming on in the 67th minute in place of Lenell John-Lewis.[5] He made his English Football League debut on 23 October 2018, coming on for the last two minutes in place of Greg Docherty in a 3−1 home win against Barnsley, under Hurst's replacement, John Askey.[6]

Barnett joined National League North side AFC Telford United on an initial one-month loan on 10 November 2018.[7] He scored his first career goal on 15 December to open a 4–3 win at Farsley Celtic in the first round of the FA Trophy.[8] He returned to his parent club to play in an EFL Trophy tie against Port Vale, playing the whole ninety minutes and scoring in the resulting penalty-shoot out, as Shrewsbury bowed out of the competition following a 1−1 draw.[9] On 10 January 2019, he returned to AFC Telford for the rest of the season.[10]

In May 2019, it was confirmed that Shrewsbury had taken up the one-year option on Barnett's contract, committing him to the club until summer 2020.[11] On 7 November that year, he joined Telford on loan once again, until the end of the season.[12]

After the 2019–20 National League was ended early due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Barnett returned to his parent club and signed a new one-year contract extension with the option of an additional year in June 2020.[13] He scored his first goal for Shrewsbury Town in a 3−0 victory over Newcastle United Under−21s in an EFL Trophy group-stage match on 23 September of the same year.[14]

On 8 February 2021, Barnett joined National League North leaders Gloucester City on a one-month loan deal.[15]

On 18 March 2021, Barnett joined National League side Solihull Moors on a one-month loan.[16]

On 12 May 2021 it was announced that he would leave Shrewsbury at the end of the season, following the expiry of his contract.[17]

Solihull Moors

After spending time on loan with the club the following season, Barnett returned to Solihull Moors in June 2021, on a two-year permanent deal following his release from Shrewsbury.[18]

Wrexham

In February 2023 Barnett signed for Wrexham A.F.C. on a deal lasting until 2025.[19] He scored his first goal for the club 9 April 2024 in a 4-1 win against Crawley Town.[20] He was awarded Wrexham's goal of the season in 2024 for a volley goal in the 6-0 win against Forest Green Rovers.[21]

On 22 November 2024 he signed a new contract for Wrexham until 2027.[22]
