Career
College
Barrett played two seasons of college soccer at UCLA, and led the team in assists his second year. He chose to forgo the rest of his college career, signing a Generation adidas contract with MLS.
Professional
Chicago Fire drafted Barrett with the third overall pick of the 2005 MLS SuperDraft, and he quickly established himself as a starter for the Fire during the 2007 season, scoring seven goals. He scored a key goal in the Fire's win at D.C. United in the first round of the playoffs.
Barrett is known for his workman-like play. In his three seasons with Chicago, he led the team in goals two years, and was second the other. Not known for a great first touch, his industrious play resulted in eighteen league goals in his time in Chicago where the often more heralded Calen Carr failed to impress.[1]
On April 12, 2008, Barrett lead the Chicago Fire over the San Jose Earthquakes 1-0 in front of 20,038 fans at the Earthquakes home opener at McAfee Coliseum. Barrett tallied the game-winning goal in the ninth minute,[2] while Fire goalkeeper Jon Busch recorded eight saves in his second shutout of the season.
He, along with a 1st-round SuperDraft pick and allocation money, was traded to Toronto FC on July 25th, 2008, in exchange for the rights to Brian McBride. Barrett signed a 4 year contract extension with Toronto FC on September 1, 2008.
International
Barrett has played for various youth United States national teams. He was a key player on the Under-20 team at the 2005 World Youth Championship and was named to the U-23 men's national team for 2008 Olympic qualifying.
He made his debut for the United States men's national soccer team on June 22, 2008, coming on as a second half substitute in a World Cup qualifier against Barbados.
