He started his junior rugby league career with Wingham Tigers Junior Rugby League in 1999, and remained with Wingham JRL until the end of under-16s in 2011, when he was signed by the Newcastle Knights.

After playing in the lower grades at the Newcastle Knights, Barnett joined the Canberra Raiders.
