Tyrone Barnett

Tyrone Barnett (born 28 October 1985) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for National League side Eastleigh.

A former West Bromwich Albion youth team player, the self-described 'athletic target man' dropped into non-league football with Rushall Olympic, AFC Telford United, Willenhall Town, and Hednesford Town. He won the Birmingham Senior Cup with Hednesford, before his goal scoring record won him a move to Football League club Macclesfield Town in May 2010. He was voted the club's Player of the Year for 2010–11, and won a move to Crawley Town in June 2011. He was named on the 2011–12 League Two PFA Team of the Year, and joined Peterborough United on loan in February 2012, which was made into a permanent move at the end of the season for £1.1 million.

He struggled with injuries and discipline issues in the 2012–13 season, and was loaned out to Ipswich Town in November 2012. The 2013–14 season was more positive, though he was still allowed to join Bristol City on a four-month loan in January 2014. He joined Oxford United on loan in September 2014, before he was sold on to Shrewsbury Town in February 2015. He helped Shrewsbury to win promotion out of League Two at the end of the 2014–15 campaign, before he was loaned out to Southend United in January 2016. His contract with Shrewsbury was cancelled in August 2016, and he subsequently signed with AFC Wimbledon. He switched to Port Vale in July 2017, and moved on to Cheltenham Town in January 2019 after a successful loan spell. He joined non-League Eastleigh in August 2019.
