Giles Gordon Kirlue Barnes (born 5 August 1988) is a former professional footballer who played as a forward. He is assistant head coach of Orlando Pride of the National Women's Soccer League. He began his career with Derby County, where he won the club's Young Player of the Year award in 2007 and was Championship Player of the Month in March 2007. Barnes represented England at under-19 level. He however opted to represent Jamaica at senior level, making his Reggae Boyz debut in March 2015 and representing them at the Copa América and CONCACAF Gold Cup later that year, helping them to the final of the latter event.
