Biography:

No-nonsense forward signed from Newcastle on a three-year contract to the end of the 2025 season.
Barnett joined fellow second rower Marata Niukore (Parramatta), utility Dylan Walker (Manly Warringah) and halfback Luke Metcalf (Cronulla Sutherland) as the club’s first four major acquisitions for the 2023 season.
He spent seven seasons with the Knights making a total of 126 appearances after debuting for the club in a loss to the One New Zealand Warriors in 2016. Across his Newcastle career he averaged 105 metres and 33 tackles a game.
Barnett initially played for the Knights in the lower grades before joining Canberra in 2013 where he played for the club’s under-20 side before making his NRL debut late in the 2015 season.
Predominantly playing for the Raiders’ feeder club the Mount Pritchard Mounties, he was named the New South Wales Cup player of the year in 2015.
