Early career[edit]

Barratt scored on his first team debut as a 16 year old and went on to play "approximately 90 games" for the Robins.[3][4] In summer 2014, Barratt signed for Maidenhead United. During four seasons at the club he made 97 league appearances – scoring 12 goals – and was part of the team that won the National League South in 2016–17.[5] He combined his non-league football career with his job as an artist.[4] He also had trials at Crystal Palace and Bristol Rovers,[3][6] as well as a loan spell at Staines Town in December 2016.[7]

In May 2018 it was announced that he would turn professional with Southend United for the 2018–19 season.[8] He made his English Football League debut on the opening day of the season as a substitute in a 2–3 defeat at home to Doncaster Rovers.[9] This was his only appearance before sustaining a "long-term" knee injury in August 2018.[10] Barratt returned to the senior team on 1 January 2020 against AFC Wimbledon.[5] He left Southend on 22 August 2020, having made ten appearances during his time in Essex.[11]

Return to Maidenhead United[edit]

Barratt re-joined Maidenhead on 14 September 2020.[12] After scoring fifteen goals in his first season back with the club, Barratt signed a two-year contract extension in June 2021.[13]

Barnet[edit]
