Yoann Barbet (born 10 May 1993) is a French professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Brentford. A product of the Bordeaux youth system, Barbet signed his first professional contract with Chamois Niortais ahead of the 2014–15 season. He was capped by France at U18 level.
As a youngster, Barbet represented AS Mouliets, Olympique Saint-Pey and FC Vallée de Gamage, before joining the youth setup at Ligue 1 side Bordeaux in July 2007. He made his debut for the club's reserve team in a 3–0 win against Saint-Alban on 2 April 2011 and went on to make a further four appearances during the final month of the season, helping the team to promotion to the Championnat de France amateur. Over the next three seasons, Barbet established himself as a regular in the Bordeaux reserve line-up, making 70 appearances and scoring 12 goals. He finally won his maiden call into the first team squad for a Europa League group stage match versus Maccabi Tel Aviv on 12 December 2013, but remained an unused substitute during the 1–0 defeat. It was Barbet's only involvement with the first team and he departed the Stade Chaban-Delmas at the end of the 2013–14 season.
Barbet joined Ligue 2 side in Chamois Niortais in July 2014, signing a two-year contract after a successful trial period. Initially signed as a back-up player, Barbet was given his chance at Niort after first-choice central defender Frédéric Bong suffered a long-term injury. He made the first professional appearance of his career in a 1–1 draw with Créteil on 22 August 2014, partnering Matthieu Sans in central defence. Barbet scored his first goal for the side in a 1–1 draw with Orléans the following month. He made 33 appearances and scored two goals during a mid-table season for Niort and departed the club on 25 June 2015.
