Barnard Commits To Warriors!

Aspire Warriors PFC are delighted to announce the signing of Henry Barnard ahead of the 2026/27 Slater & Gordon Championship campaign.

Henry was with Muscle Warriors in the Premiership last season, and will continue his journey in our hub with the Aspire Warriors next season.

He signed for Muscles after coming through the ranks at Norwich City, where he tasted his first experience of promotion to the Premiership.

The 13-year-old winger is an exciting prospect, who will undoubtedly develop this season in a strong squad, under the tutelage of Jon Bolding and Tom Kelly.

Tom Kelly said: "Henry has already played two seasons in the premiership at a very young age therefore a return to the championship will allow him to show the skills he has learnt and his obvious potential.

"As one of our most promising players, it is key we have kept Henry in the club to allow him to develop with quality and experienced players around him."

Henry Barnard said: "I am very excited to be part of this new team - I think we will work well together and bang in lots of goals.

"I am already loving the new set up and feel the benefit of top quality coaching which will help me develop and fulfil my potential."

Henry will wear the number 22 shirt for Warriors.
