Career

Barratt started his career in the Academy of his local club at Stoke City.[2] In the summer of 2019, he decided to leave Stoke to sign a scholarship with EFL League One side Fleetwood Town, believing that he would get more minutes and be able to progress into the under-23 side.[2] He made his first team debut as a second-year scholar on 10 November 2020, when he replaced Sam Finley as an 89th minute substitute as they beat Sunderland 2–1 in the EFL Trophy Group Stage.[3] He was captain of the under-18 side that won the league title during the 2020–21 season.[4] Despite this, on 30 April 2021, it was announced that he would be released by Fleetwood at the end of his apprenticeship and he departed the club.[5]

Following on from his release he had a short spell at Northern Premier League Division One west side Leek Town in August 2021, before moving to divisional rivals Glossop North End at the end of the month.[6] He made his debut for Glossop in an away trip to City of Liverpool in August 2021 which ended in a 1–1 draw.[7] He then suffered a shoulder injury against Clitheroe, but still went onto have an impact on the season, making 32 appearances and scoring twice.[7] On 13 June 2022, he committed to another season with Glossop North End for the 2022–23 campaign.
