of the 2017–18 season after scoring just two goals in 28 appearances. Cheltenham Town On 30 August 2018, Barnett joined League Two rivals Cheltenham Town on a half-season loan deal; "Robins" caretaker-manager Russell Milton said that "the transfer is initially until January and he has the carrot there of staying on if he does well, so we will see what happens in the future." He went on to score five goals in 26 league and cup appearances whilst on loan at Whaddon Road. On 7 January 2019, he signed a contract of undisclosed-length with Cheltenham after mutually terminating his contract at Port Vale.

Eastleigh On 2 August 2019, Barnett joined National League side Eastleigh. Manager Ben Strevens said that he hoped Barnett's experience would be of benefit to younger members of the squad. He top-scored for the "Spitfires" with 12 goals in 39 appearances throughout the 2019–20 season, triggering a contract extension to extend his stay at Ten Acres. He scored 12 goals in 38 games during the 2020–21 campaign, finishing as the club's joint top-scorer with Joe Tomlinson. He scored eight goals from forty appearances in the 2021–22 season and was released by new manager Lee Bradbury in the summer. Hereford After being released by Eastleigh, Barnett joined National League North side Hereford on 15 June 2022 as manager Josh Gowling's first signing of the summer. Style of play Barnett describes himself as an 'athletic target man' forward, able to use his athleticism to get on the end of a cross and his strength to hold the ball up. In February 2012, Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson said that Barnett was "technically very good, has decent pace and he is one of the best strikers in the air that I have seen for a while".
