Career

Ipswich Town

Born in Preston, Lancashire and growing up in St Ives, Cambridgeshire,^[2] Barron joined Ipswich Town's academy at the age of ten after being spotted playing locally in St Ives. Adept as left back or a left midfielder, Barron's first involvement with the first team came on 16 March 2004, when he was named as a substitute for a Division One match against Walsall, though he did not play. Barron made his first team debut against Brentford in a 2-0 League Cup first round win in August 2004 and played the full 90 minutes.^[1] He was an unused substitute on another six occasions,^[3] but a persistent groin injury meant that he missed much of the 2004/05 season.^[4] Barron's injury problems continued into the 2005/06 season^[5] and he had to wait until December 2005 for his next appearance, when he replaced Darren Currie after 87 minutes of a 1-1 Championship draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers.^[6] Barron enjoyed a run of 15 first team appearances during the second half of the season. He was only called into the Ipswich Town squad once during the 2006/07 season^[7] and was released in June 2007 after his contract expired.^[8]

Wrexham (loan)

Due to a lack of first team opportunities at Ipswich Town, Barron joined League Two side Wrexham on loan in February 2007. He made three starting appearances and returned to Ipswich in March.^[9]

Millwall

Barron joined League One side Millwall in June 2007.^[10] He made 17 appearances during the 2007/08 season, as Millwall narrowly avoided relegation to League Two. Barron made 16 appearances in 2008/09 and scored the first senior goal of his career in an FA Cup third round replay against Crewe Alexandra on 13 January 2009.^[11] He was an unused substitute during Millwall's unsuccessful playoff campaign. In the 2009/10 season Barron made 29 appearances and won the first medal of his career when Millwall were promoted to the Championship after running out 1-0 victors against Swindon Town in the 2010 League One playoff final. Barron had a successful 2010/11 season in the Championship, making 42 appearances and scoring two goals as Millwall finished ninth. His injury niggles returned during 2011/12 season and he played the latter part of the campaign while suffering from a recurring knee problem.^[12]

Brentford

After being allowed to leave Millwall,^[13] Barron joined League One side Brentford on 13 August 2012.^[14] He made 17 appearances during his debut season with the Bees, before undergoing surgery for a hip joint problem in March 2013.^[15] Barron made an additional four appearances for the Development Squad during the 2012/13 season.^[16] A highlight of his season was an 80th minute substitute appearance in a 2-2 FA Cup fourth round draw with Premier League side Chelsea at Griffin Park on 27 January 2013.^[17] An injury to Jake Bidwell during the opening weeks of the 2013/14 season saw Barron return to the side,^[18] though he only managed five appearances before being sidelined with a groin problem.^[19] Upon his return from injury, Barron scored his first Development Squad goal in a 4-2 Professional Development League 2 South victory over Charlton Athletic on September 30.^[20] With a fit-again Bidwell and stand-in left back Tony Craig ahead of him in the first team, Barron was made available for loan by manager Uwe Rösler in October 2013,^[21] but a recurrence of his hip injury prevented a loan materialising. Barron returned to training in mid-December.^[22] An injury to Tony Craig meant that Barron received his first call-up into the first team squad in over four months, when he was an unused substitute for a 2-0 win over Port Vale on 11 January 2014.^[23] Barron played 71 minutes in a 1-1 Professional Development League 2 South draw with former side Ipswich Town on 14 January, before being brought off for Lewis Lavender.^[24] It was his first appearance at any level for the club since a 3-1 Development Squad defeat to Cardiff City on 14 October^[25]^[26] and he was made available for loan by new manager Mark Warburton the following day.^[27]
