Leon Peter Barnett (born 30 November 1985) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for League One club Bury. He primarily plays a centre-back, but has also played as a left-back, right-back, central midfielder and striker.
In Barnett's first season, at the age of 13, he played as a pacey right sided midfielder for local team Bushmead Wanderers. This position he retained over the next couple of seasons and was a prolific goalscorer having scored over 40 goals using his incredible pace.
Barnett started his football career at Luton Town and progressed through their youth system. During the 2002–03 season, he made his first-team debut for the club, coming on as a 86th-minute substitute for Marvin Johnson in a 2–0 away win over Woking in the Football League Trophy on 22 October 2002, but failed to feature again during the season. Barnett featured twice in the Football League Trophy and once in the FA Cup during the 2003–04 season, but was still yet to make a league appearance for the club. He signed a professional contract on 27 September 2004, one day before making a starting appearance in a 2–0 away defeat to Swansea City in the Football League Trophy, during which he was shown a red card after only 12 minutes.
