In his youth, Barış played for FC St. Pauli, and he had an important role when FC St. Pauli was promoted to the Bundesliga in 2001. He also played for SpVgg Greuther Fürth in Germany. After his years in F.C. St. Pauli, he attracted the attention of the Gençlerbirliği chairman İlhan Cavcav and he was transferred to Gençlerbirliği.

Private life

Due to a financial problem in his transfer to Fenerbahçe, his licence was suspended and he was unable to play for Kadıköy side for a long time. In July 2006, Barış lost his childhood love and mother of his two children Frauke Barış in a tragic house accident in his house in Jork (near Hamburg, Germany).
