Youth career

Barnes is a product of the Leicester City academy, which he joined on 8 June 2007 at the age of nine.[12] He signed his first professional contract with the club on 25 June 2016[13] and on 7 December 2016 made his debut for the first team as a second-half substitute in a 5–0 UEFA Champions League defeat to Porto.[14] During the first half of the 2016–17 Premier League 2 season for Leicester City U23, Barnes scored five goals and provided assists for five others.[15]

Loan to Milton Keynes Dons

On 20 January 2017, Barnes joined League One club Milton Keynes Dons on loan for the remainder of the 2016–17 season.[15] A day later, Barnes scored on his home debut as a 76th-minute substitute for Chuks Aneke in a 5–3 win over Northampton Town.[16] Barnes followed his debut goal with another goal a week later, on 28 January, scoring in a 4–0 away win over rivals Peterborough United.[17]

On 2 May 2017, after impressing with 6 goals in 21 appearances for the club, he was awarded Milton Keynes Dons' Young Player of the Year 2016–17 award.[18]

On 21 July 2017, Barnes signed a new four-year contract, keeping him at Leicester until June 2021.[19]
