Club career

Born in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Barreiro was a Valencia CF youth graduate. He made his debut as a senior with the reserves in the 2004–05 season, in the Tercera División. [2]

After prolific lower league spells at CD Lalín and Algeciras CF, Barreiro joined Cádiz CF on 31 January 2008. [3] Initially assigned to the B side, he made his first-team debut on 20 April 2008, coming on as a late substitute for Natalio in a 1–0 Segunda División away win against CD Numancia. [4]

Barreiro scored his first professional goal on 18 May 2008, but in a 5–2 loss at RC Celta de Vigo. [5] After the club's relegation to the Segunda División B, he was definitely promoted to the main squad. [6]

Released by Cádiz in the summer of 2009, Barreiro subsequently represented Jerez Industrial CF, [7] Zamora CF, [8] CCD Cerceda, Pontevedra CF [9] and Racing de Ferrol. [10] With the latter, he scored a career-best 21 goals in two consecutive seasons, as his team achieved promotion to the third division and missed out another in the play-offs. [11]

On 27 June 2014, Barreiro returned to division two after six years, signing for Deportivo Alavés. [12] He scored 11 goals for the Basques in his debut campaign, including braces against CA Osasuna and CD Lugo, [13] and added a further five in the following as they returned to La Liga after ten years. [14]

After making no league appearances during the first half of the season, Barreiro terminated his contract on 22 December 2016 [15] and joined second-tier club Gimnàstic de Tarragona just hours later. [16] He was sent off for two bookable offences on his debut – a 1–1 home draw with CD Tenerife – the latter for not wearing the obligatory shinpads. [17]

Barreiro signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with second-division Lugo on 28 January 2019. [18] In 2020–21, he totalled a squad-best 12 goals for the 18th-placed side, the last outside the relegation zone. [19]
