Club career
Barett's father Shaun Paul has managed numerous clubs and county teams for Donegal GAA, as has her brother Luke.[1] Another brother, Kane, has also been involved with Milford.[1]
In 2017 Barrett, who was in the final year of a teacher training course at Maynooth University, quit Donegal GAA when a bout of glandular fever forced her to choose between Gaelic football and soccer.[2] She was named Women's National League Player of the Season and Top Goalscorer in the 2017 season.[3] In 2018 she lost out on the Player of the Season (to Rianna Jarrett) but retained her Top Goalscorer award, scoring 30 goals − including seven hat-tricks − in 21 league appearances.[4][5]
In 2019 she went to Germany to play for 1. FC Köln, who were just promoted to the Frauen-Bundesliga.[6] She spent three years in Cologne, playing in the Frauen-Bundesliga and 2. Frauen-Bundesliga, before signing for Turbine Potsdam in July 2022.[7]
International career
National team coach Colin Bell gave Barrett her senior debut in September 2017, as a substitute in a 2–0 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying win over Northern Ireland at Mourneview Park in Lurgan. She started an encouraging 0–0 draw away to European Champions the Netherlands in November 2017 and was praised by Bell for her performance.[8]
In April 2018, Barrett's 87th-minute winning goal secured a 2–1 win over Slovakia at Tallaght Stadium, which kept Ireland in contention for World Cup qualification.[9]
On 11 October 2022, Barrett's scored the only goal in a 1-0 win against Scotland to send Ireland to the World Cup for the first time.[10]
