Barbiero signed for Adelaide in the 2007–08 season making his debut as a substitute against Perth Glory in a 1-1 draw at Hindmarsh Stadium;[1] he went on to make 3 league appearances getting sent off on his full league debut.
With Jonas Salley being classified as a foreigner under new FIFA law Fabian became a pivotal part in Adelaide's midfield in the Asian Champions League; this including the 3-0, semi-final, win over Bunyodkor where he not only was assigned to mark Rivaldo but also scored the second goal.[2]
His good form did not go unnoticed by coach Aurelio Vidmar as he was handed his second league start in the 1-0 win over Queensland playing just over an hour before being replaced by Alemão.[3]
Barbiero scored his first A-League goal against Newcastle Jets on 9 January 2009 converting from a tight angle to give Adelaide a 1-0 lead.[4] He scored the Preliminary-Final goal against the Queensland Roar, that got Adelaide into the 2008/2009 Grand Final against Melbourne Victory. On 14 April 2009 moved on trial to German 2. Bundesliga club SpVgg Greuther Fürth.[5]
