Club career
Barsley played college soccer for St. John's Red Storm while attending St. John's University on a five-year accountancy degree. After graduating she began working for Ernst & Young in New York City, but negotiated a leave of absence when Swedish club Eskilstuna United offered her a professional soccer contract in 2013.[1] Barsley's nine goals from defence helped Eskilstuna win promotion to the Damallsvenskan in her first season.[2] In the 2015 Damallsvenskan season, Eskilstuna finished runners-up to FC Rosengård and Barsley was awarded a new two-year contract.[3]
In March 2022 she transferred to Damallsvenskan newcomers IF Brommapojkarna, following nine seasons with Eskilstuna.[4]
International career
Barsley's mother is from Shetland, which qualifies her to play for Scotland.[5] She made her full international debut on 11 April 2017, in a 5–0 defeat against Belgium.[6]
Personal life
In December 2018 she married her former Eskilstuna team-mate Annica Svensson.[7]
