Barnett, who signed from Solihull Moors in February 2023, is only tied to terms in North Wales through to the summer of 2025. Calls for Hollywood co-owners to put a new deal in place are mounting as the exciting playmaker continues to thrive.
WHAT KER & DOBSON SAID
Reynolds and McElhenney’s fellow director, Humphrey Ker, has branded Barnett the “Shropshire Shevchenko” – as he is compared to the legendary former AC Milan and Chelsea striker. George Dobson says his team-mate is the “best player in the world”, while Elliot Lee considers him to be “some boy”.

Barnett has helped Wrexham to second place in the League One table, with Phil Parkinson’s side collecting 20 points from their 10 games so far. Their next third tier fixture, against Lincoln, has been postponed – with only an EFL Trophy clash with Wolves’ U21 side to come before October 19.
