Barry played for Huddersfield Town, Carlisle United and Bristol Rovers in England before moving to the United States to play for the Columbus Magic of the American Soccer League. In 1975, he played on loan from Carlisle United to the Washington Diplomats of the North American Soccer League.[1] Barry began the 1979–80 Major Indoor Soccer League with the Pittsburgh Spirit, but moved to the Cleveland Force after three games. He remained with the Force through the 1980–81 season and the beginning of the 1981–82 season. The Force sent Barry to the New Jersey Rockets midway through the season. Even with his move indoors, Barry continued to play outdoor soccer. In 1979, he joined the Columbus Magic of the second division American Soccer League.
