Early life

Barritt attended Kearsney College where he was a College Prefect in Pembroke House during 2004 and captained the 1st XV in 2004.
Career

During his debut season in the 2006 Currie Cup and Super 14 season for the Sharks and Sharks. He debuted in the Super 14 season in 2006.

He had the ability to play fly half (before Saracens) (although in a rather ad-hoc capacity) and did so to great effect in the 2006 Currie Cup season when perennially injured provincial team-mate Butch James was absent from the squad. However, due to the emergence of Francois Steyn at the coastal franchise, Barritt's opportunity to play fly-half was curtailed, leading to a him finding a more settled role as the Sharks' first-choice inside-centre.
Barritt played in the 2007 Super 14 Final, losing by a solitary point to the Bulls.
Barritt signed for the English Premiership side Saracens, and joined them after winning the 2008 Currie Cup competition.
Due to injuries, Barritt was recalled to play in a 2009 Super 14 fixture against the Waratahs, his final game for the Sharks.

International career
Barritt played for South Africa against France in the final of the 2006 Under 21 Rugby World Championship.
He represented the Emerging Springboks at the IRB Nations Cup in 2007.
Barritt was selected by England coach Martin Johnson to represent the England Saxons at the 2009 Churchill Cup. This was possible because Barritt had not yet had a senior-level cap for another country, and holds a UK passport, thanks to Rhodesian parents, making him eligible for England as well as South Africa. Barritt's family has strong English roots, and many of his aunts and uncles live in England. Barritt's grandparents were born in England, and his grandfather played Rugby Union for English Universities. Barritt made his Saxons debut against the USA, scoring a try.
Barritt was called up to the England senior squad for the first time in 2010 to face the New Zealand Maori and again for the 2012 Six Nations Championship making his full debut against Scotland.
