Ryan Barnett

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

Career Shrewsbury Town Barnett joined the Shrewsbury Town youth system in 2007, 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. 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.

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. 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.

Barnett joined National League North side AFC Telford United on an initial one-month loan on 10 November 2018. 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. 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. On 10 January 2019, he returned to AFC Telford for the rest of the season.

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. On 7 November that year, he joined Telford on loan once again, until the end of the season.
