Giles Barnes, (born August 5, 1988), is an English footballer. He signed for Derby County in August 2005 as a trainee. He is deployed as a midfielder.

He has since been linked with a £1m transfer to Newcastle United.[2] However, Derby County are hoping to tie Barnes down to a contract extension, due to a clause in his contract which was activated once he made his 10th appearance for the club.[3]

Recently he has hit a run of form and his goals have earnt Derby 7 point. He scored a tremendous volley away at Cardiff in the 92nd minute to equalise. 4 days later he scored a brace of great goals to earn a win at Pride Park against Barnsley. Then 3 days after that he scored the winner at home to West Bromwich Albion. This sort of form has generated reports of interest from clubs like Liverpool and Everton who are repotedly willing to pay £2.8 million for Barnes.[citation needed]
