Harvey Barnes, born on 9 December 1997 (age 28), is an England winger who plays primarily from the left for Newcastle United, wearing squad number 11.
He came through at Leicester City, with early loan spells giving him the sort of senior football young wide players either use properly or disappear into. Time away from Leicester helped sharpen his direct running and end product before he became a regular part of their first-team picture.
Barnes’ strongest league season came in 2022-23 at Leicester, when he scored 13 goals in 34 appearances. That was a useful return in a difficult campaign and underlined his main value: he is at his best when driving infield from the left and getting shots away rather than simply holding the touchline.
He moved on to Newcastle United, where his 2026-27 season has brought seven Premier League appearances and one goal. Across all competitions for Newcastle in that campaign, he has made 12 appearances and scored six times, including three goals in the FA Cup and two in the League Cup.
His current market value is around £30m, according to Transfermarkt. Barnes’ career has been built on a steady rise from Leicester development prospect, through productive loans, into an established Premier League winger at Newcastle.
