Playing Career

Club(s)		 Joined Everton FC as an eleven-year old and worked through the club's youth system. Despite breaking his leg for the England U19's in October 2010, Barkley recovered to be loaned out to Sheffield Wednesday FC on 14 September 2012. He returned to be loaned out once more, to Leeds United AFC on 11 January 2013. On Transfer Deadline Day, 31 August 2017, pulled out of a deal to take him to Chelsea FC. However, on 5 January 2018, a £15 million deal saw Barkley join the Stamford Bridge club. Then, on 30 September 2020, Barkley joined Aston Villa FC on a loan deal for the remainder of the season. He returned to Stamford Bridge for the 2021-22 season, and released by the club on 29 August 2022. On 4 September 2022, Barkley was unveiled as a new OGC Nice player, he made his Ligue 1 debut as a 71st minute substitute the following Sunday, 11th, against Ajaccio. He made nine+eighteen Ligue 1 appearances, scoring four goals, up until his release on 9 June 2023. Joined Premier League new boys Luton Town FC on 9 August 2023, but following their relegation after just one season, he peaked the interest of his former, club Aston Villa FC, whom he signed for in a permanent deal on 1 July.
