Career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Glasgow, Barr first played for St Johnstone,[1] but failed to make it into the first team. After being released by St Johnstone he was given a chance by Paul Martin at Albion Rovers, before signing for Livingston manager Gary Bollan in January 2010.[2] Livingston won the Scottish Third Division.[3]

Before he was released by Livingston, Barr was sent to East Fife on loan for a period of three months and scored on his debut at home to Ayr United. In June 2013, he signed for Brechin City,[4] and after two years at the club moved to Greenock Morton on a one-year deal.[5] He scored his first goal for the club in a 4-2 win at Livingston on 5 September 2015.[6]

Barr signed a pre-contract agreement on a two-year deal with league rivals Raith Rovers,[7] with his signing being confirmed at the end of May 2016.[8] Following the end of his contract, Barr was released by Raith at the end of the 2017–18 season.[9] He signed for Dumbarton on 4 June 2018[10] and scored his first goal for the club in a 4-2 Scottish League Cup defeat to Kilmarnock a month later.[11] After being an ever-present as the Sons finished sixth in Scottish League One Barr turned down a new deal to join Lowland League side East Stirlingshire.[12]

Barr signed with Forfar Athletic in January 2020.[13] He then moved to Cowdenbeath in July 2021.[14]

Following the Blue Brazil's relegation from Scottish League Two, Barr left the club. He joined West of Scotland Football League side Ashfield following a short trial.[15]
