Club career
Early career
Barry started his career within the youth ranks at Brighton & Hove Albion before signing a development contract with them in 2013.[3] However, Barry suffered a leg injury that kept him sidelined for 11 months.[4] After recovering from his leg injury, Barry returned to development squad and played his first match, as well as captain, against Blackburn Rovers U21 on 18 August 2014.[5]
Barry was released by 'the Seagulls' in the summer of 2015 without making a single appearance for the senior side.[6]

In the 2016–17 season, on 20 August 2016, Barry scored his first goal for Swindon, netting the winner in their 1–0 victory over Port Vale in the 47th minute.[13] However, Barry's first team opportunities was soon limited with injuries[14][15] and suspension, which has affected his season.[16][17] Despite this, Barry went on to make twenty-six appearances and scoring once in all competitions.
