[5] Barnett made his debut for Tranmere Rovers away to Swindon Town, in the 3–1 defeat in League One on 9 August 2008. [6] However, he spent two months on the substitute bench, due to manager Ronnie Moore's decision to "inject greater defensive discipline into the midfield". [7] His handful of reserve appearances led Moore to recall him to the first team. [8] It wasn't until on 24 October 2008 when Barnett made his first team appearances for the first time in two months, coming on as a late substitute, in a 2–0 win over Crewe Alexandra.

[38] Over the season, he, at one point, played in the right–back position. [39] Barnett said about the new position, saying: "The gaffer has played me a bit further forward in the last few games and I've managed to be at the heart of a lot of things we've done well, which is a massive positive for me. I am happy playing there so that's a massive plus for me if I do stay." [40] At the end of the 2011–12 season, Barnett went on to make forty–four appearances and scoring once in all competitions.
In the 2012–13 season, Barnett signed a one–year contract extension with the club.
