Career

Born in Enfield Town, London,[4] Barnes began his career with Barnet where he first featured on the bench for the first-team during the 2012–13 season.[5] He moved to Fulham for the 2014–15 season, and he was loaned out to Conference South side Farnborough for the second half of the season.[6] He made eleven appearances for Farnborough between December 2014 and April 2015.[5]

In summer 2015, Barnes joined Bedford Town before joining League One club Colchester United on trial in August. He kept one clean sheet in three games for the under-21s before being offered a one-year development contract which he signed on 1 September.[7]

Barnes missed an opportunity to make his professional debut on 8 May 2016 in Colchester's final game of the 2015–16 season after getting caught in traffic, meaning teammate James Bransgrove was selected for the game ahead of him for his own debut.[8] Barnes eventually made his debut for Colchester on 9 August 2016 when he was named in the starting line-up of their EFL Cup match against Brighton & Hove Albion. He conceded four goals as Colchester lost to their Championship opposition 4–0.[9] In his next game on 8 November in the EFL Trophy, Barnes saved two penalties during the penalty shoot-out with Charlton Athletic to help his side to a 4–3 win and an additional bonus point.[10]

National League South side Welling United signed Barnes in an initial one-month loan deal on 8 August 2017.[11] He made his Welling debut in their 1–0 defeat by Chelmsford City the same day.[12] On 8 September, his loan was extended to run until 8 November.[13]

In January 2018, Barnes signed on an initial one-month loan for National League South side Hemel Hempstead Town.[14]

On 28 April 2018, Barnes made his English Football League debut, standing in for Sam Walker for Colchester's League Two game against Swindon Town. He kept a clean sheet in the 0–0 draw.[15]

Following Sam Walker's summer move to Reading, Barnes was handed Colchester United's number one shirt.[16] He started in Colchester's first game of the 2018–19 season, keeping a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw with Notts County.[17] He was sent off for the first time in his career on 22 April after being shown a red card for violent conduct during Colchester's 1–1 draw at Yeovil Town.[18]

On 22 July 2019, Barnes joined Championship side Queens Park Rangers on a two-year deal.[19]
