Killian Barrett earns international call-up

Former Binfield and Woodley United goalkeeper Killian Barrett has earned an international call-up with Republic of Ireland for matches at the start of June.

The goalkeeper – on loan at Rochdale this season in the Vanarama National League from Sheffield Wednesday – was part of Binfield’s famous ‘Great Escape’ in 2023/24 when the Moles went from being cast adrift in the Isthamian League to safety on the final day.

Barrett in particular was influential on the final day, saving a vital one v one opportunity for Uxbridge with the game at 0-0, before Ethan Lindo was able to give the Moles a valuable win at the other end.

The goalkeeper was picked up by EFL League One Wednesday last summer and helped Rochdale to the play-offs where they were eventually beaten in the Eliminator Round by Southend United.

Barrett will join up with the Republic of Ireland’s under 21 side for games against Croatia (A) on 6th June and home to Qatar on 10th June. He joins a squad full of talent from the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest.
