Harvey Lewis Barnes[3] was born on 9 December 1997[4] in Burnley, Lancashire,[5] and brought up in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire.[6] He is the son of former professional footballer Paul Barnes.[7] Both of his maternal grandparents were born in Scotland.[8] In 2009, Barnes played for Greenfield Primary School[9][10] in the Leicestershire & Rutland Schools Football Association competition known as The Rice Bowl.[11] After leaving Greenfield, he attended Leysland High School and Countesthorpe College.[12]

Youth career

edit

Barnes is a product of the Leicester City F.C. Under-21s and Academy academy, which he joined on 8 June 2007 at the age of nine.[12] He signed his first professional contract with the club on 25 June 2016[13] and on 7 December made his debut for the first team as a second-half substitute in a 5–0 defeat away to Porto in the UEFA Champions League.[14] During the first half of the 2016–17 Premier League 2 season for Leicester City U23, Barnes scored five goals and provided assists for five others.[15]

Loan to Milton Keynes Dons

edit

On 20 January 2017, Barnes joined League One club Milton Keynes Dons on loan for the remainder of the 2016–17 season.[15] A day later, Barnes scored on his home debut as a 76th-minute substitute for Chuks Aneke in a 5–3 win over Northampton Town.[16] Barnes followed his debut goal with another goal a week later, on 28 January, scoring in a 4–0 away win over rivals Peterborough United.[17]

On 2 May 2017, after impressing with six goals in 21 appearances for the club, he was awarded Milton Keynes Dons' Young Player of the Year 2016–17 award.[18]

On 21 July 2017, Barnes signed a new four-year contract, keeping him at Leicester until June 2021.[19]

Loan to Barnsley and recall

edit

On 11 August 2017, Barnes joined Championship club Barnsley on a season-long loan.[20] The following day, he made his debut for the club as an 80th-minute substitute in a 1–2 home defeat to Ipswich Town.[21] He scored his first goal for Barnsley against Sunderland on 26 August 2017.[22]

On 1 January 2018, Barnes was recalled from his loan spell at Barnsley and returned to Leicester City.[23]

He made his Premier League debut on 19 April 2018, as a 91st minute substitute in a 0–0 draw against Southampton.[24]

Loan to West Bromwich Albion

edit

In July 2018, after originally agreeing a deal to join Leeds United on loan,[25] Barnes changed his mind at the last moment and on 24 July 2018, Barnes signed a new four-year contract with Leicester and joined newly relegated Championship club West Bromwich Albion on a season long loan.[26][27] He scored a spectacular goal on his league debut during a 2–1 home defeat against Bolton Wanderers on 4 August 2018.[28]

During his spell at Albion, Barnes scored nine goals and made seven assists in 26 Championship matches.[29]

Return to Leicester City

edit

On 11 January 2019, Barnes was recalled by Leicester with immediate effect.[30] He scored his first goal for Leicester on 20 April in a 2–2 draw with West Ham United.[31] In June he signed a new five-year contract.[32]

On 24 August 2019, Barnes scored a half-volley against Sheffield United to give Leicester City their first win of the 2019–20 season.[33] The goal was later voted as Premier League Goal of the Month[34] and Leicester City's Goal of the Season.[35] He ended his first full season as a first team player with six goals and eight assists and was named the club's Young Player of the Season.[35]

Barnes' form on the left wing helped Leicester to achieve consecutive fifth place finishes in both the 2019–20 and 2020–21 Premier League seasons.[36] However, an injury sustained in a 3–1 loss to Arsenal on 28 February 2021[37] prevented him from appearing in the later rounds of the 2020–21 FA Cup, which Leicester won by beating Chelsea 1–0 at Wembley Stadium in the final on 15 May.[38]

On 19 August 2021, Barnes signed a new four-year contract at Leicester City, keeping him at the club until 2025.[39] He also changed his squad number from 15 to 7.[40]

He started the 2021–22 season by playing 78 minutes in Leicester's 1–0 win over Manchester City in the 2021 FA Community Shield.[41]

During the 2022–23 season, Barnes scored 13 goals in 34 Premier League appearances. Despite his strong personal performance, Leicester were relegated to the Championship.[42]

Newcastle United

edit

On 23 July 2023, Barnes signed for Premier League club Newcastle United on a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee,[43] believed to be in the region of £38 million.[44][45][46] On 12 August, he recorded his first goal and assist on his debut in a 5–1 win over Aston Villa at St James' Park.[47] On 24 September, Barnes was substituted in the 12th minute of an 8–0 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane with an injury[48] which kept him out of the Newcastle first team until 3 February 2024, when he appeared as a substitute in a 4–4 draw with Luton Town, scoring the team's equalising goal.[49]

International career

edit

Barnes was called up for the England national under-20 team for the 2017 Toulon Tournament, in a squad that was made up of players from a number of age groups, with another under-20 team also playing at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[50] He made his debut on 29 May 2017, coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 win over Angola in England's opening group match.[50] He made his first start in England's next match on 1 June, in which he scored twice in a 7–1 win over Cuba.[50] On 10 June, Barnes scored his penalty kick in a penalty shoot-out in the final against the Ivory Coast, which England won 5–3 after a 1–1 draw.[50] He finished the tournament as joint top scorer, along with teammate George Hirst and Angola's Chico Banza, with four goals.[51] Barnes played five of England's seven matches in the 2017–18 Under 20 Elite League, which the team finished as runners-up.[50] He finished his under-20 career with 10 appearances, which were earned between 2017 and 2018, and six goals.[50]

Barnes received his first call-up for the England under-21s in May 2018 for the 2018 Toulon Tournament,[52] although he was forced to withdraw from the squad through injury.[53] He made his debut for the under-21s on 16 October when starting England's 2–0 away win over Scotland in 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification.[54] He was named in England's squad for the 2019 European Under-21 Championship in May 2019,[55] and made one appearance at the tournament, in which England were eliminated at the group stage.[54] Between 2018 and 2019, Barnes made four appearances for the under-21s.[54]

Barnes was called up to the England senior team for the first time in October 2020, for a friendly against Wales and 2020–21 UEFA Nations League matches against Belgium and Denmark.[56] He made his debut on 8 October in the match against Wales, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute in a 3–0 victory at Wembley Stadium.[57] 3 minutes of added time meant he played 17 minutes in that game.[58] He has not played any senior international football since then.[59]
