He played for Yorkshire Carnegie in the RFU Championship, Newcastle Falcons, Leicester Tigers and Northampton Saints in Premiership Rugby and La Rochelle in France's Top 14.^[2] After initially retiring from the game in 2020 Barrow returned in February 2022 to finish his career with Sale Sharks.^[3][4]

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]
