Club career

Barrow came through the Yorkshire Carnegie academy to make his first-team debut at the age of seventeen starting in an Anglo-Welsh Cup game against Scarlets in November 2010. [5] [6] That season also saw him feature in the EPCR Challenge Cup. [7]

On 10 June 2013, Barrow joined Newcastle Falcons on a two-year contract from the 2013–14 season. [8] [9] However, he was granted early release, to sign for Leicester Tigers from the 2015–16 season. [10] In his first campaign with Leicester he started in their 2015–16 European Rugby Champions Cup semi-final elimination against Racing 92 at the City Ground. [11] The following season saw Barrow come off the bench as a substitute in the 2016–17 Anglo-Welsh Cup final as Leicester defeated Exeter Chiefs to lift the trophy. [12]

On 22 March 2018, Barrow left Leicester to join La Rochelle in France's Top 14 with immediate effect as a medical joker and on the same date it was also confirmed that he would join Premiership rivals Northampton Saints for the following 2018–19 season. [13] [14] In March 2019 after only one season with Northampton it was confirmed that Barrow would leave the club. [15]

After two years of retirement from the game, Barrow returned to professional rugby in February 2022 with Premiership Rugby club Sale Sharks on a permanent deal after impressive performances initially on trial. [3] [16] In May 2023 it was confirmed that Barrow had left Sale. [17]

International career

Barrow captained England at under-16 and under-18 levels. [5] [7] He represented England under-20 in the 2012 Six Nations Under 20s Championship and started in the last round as they defeated Ireland to win the tournament. [18] He was also included in the team that finished seventh at the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship. [19]

Barrow was part of the side that retained the 2013 Six Nations Under 20s Championship. [20] Later that year he was a member of the squad at the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship and started in the final as England defeated Wales to become youth world champions for the first time. [21]

Barrow was named in an initial senior England training squad preparing for their 2017 tour of Argentina but was ultimately not included for the trip. [2]
