Playing career
Born in Rawdon, West Yorkshire, Barrett played for Rawdon Old Boys and turned professional with Bradford Park Avenue in February 1932, where he made 47 Second Division appearances in the Football League. He joined Port Vale of the Third Division North in June 1936 and after making his debut in a 1–0 defeat at Wrexham on 19 September 1936, he made nineteen consecutive appearances, only losing his place through influenza in January 1937. However, upon recovery he discovered that Roderick Welsh had effectively filled his place and so Barrett left for York City on a free transfer in April 1937. He made his debut in a 2–1 defeat to Crewe Alexandra on 6 November 1937 and he finished the 1937–38 season with 38 appearances in all competitions. He lost his place in the York team following a 6–0 defeat to Bradford City on 10 December 1938, and was released at the end of the 1938–39 season.
