Club career

Barrow came through the Yorkshire Carnegie academy to make his first-team debut as a teenager in 2010–11 season in the Amlin Challenge Cup. On 10 June 2013, Barrow joined Newcastle Falcons on a two-year contract from the 2013–14 season.[5] However, he was granted early release, to sign for Leicester Tigers from the 2015–16 season.[6]

On 22 March 2018, Barrow left Leicester to join La Rochelle in France's Top 14 with immediate effect as a medical joker.[7] On the same date, it was also confirmed that Barrow will join Premiership rivals Northampton Saints for the 2018–19 season.[8]

After two years of retirement from the game, Barrow returned to professional rugby with Sale Sharks in the Premiership Rugby on a permanent deal after impressive performance initially on trial.[3]

International career

After captaining England at under-16 and under-18 levels, Barrow joined the under-20s squad, winning the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship held in France.
