[edit] Career

He signed for Everton as a trainee and when released signed up with Coventry City where he was a regular in the reserves. He joined Accrington Stanley in 2005, and was an ever-present for the first half of the 2005–06 season, making 26 Conference appearances as the side headed for promotion back to The Football League. In January 2006 he joined Yeovil Town.[3]

Barry made 64 league appearances for the Glovers, before being released in May 2008.[4] This stint included an appearance at Wembley Stadium in the Football League One play–off final against Blackpool in 2006–07.

On 19 June 2008, Barry signed a two-year contract with Chester City.[5] He went on to feature in 43 of Chester's 46 league games during their relegation season from Football League Two, with his only goal being a spectacular long-range effort against Lincoln City in January 2009.[6] His contract with Chester was terminated on 11 January 2010 with immediate notice.[7] He signed for Wrexham on an 18 month deal on 16 January,[8] but left the club less than one week later after asking to be released from his contract.[9] On 24 January 2010 he signed for Conference North side Fleetwood Town, after being offered three times the amount he was paid with Wrexham.[10] This move angered Wrexham's manager, Dean Saunders. He was named in the Conference Team of the Year for the 2010–11 season after Fleetwood reached the play-off semi-finals.[11]
