Club career

Born in Roquetas de Mar, Almería, Andalusia, Barbero started his career with AD Parador.[1] He then represented Polideportivo Ejido and AD Polideportivo Aguadulce, making his senior debut with the latter on 21 December 2014 by starting in a 3–0 Segunda Andaluza home win against CD La Cantoriana.

Barbero moved to Club Natación Almería in the 2015 summer, returning to youth football. In the following year he joined UD Almería,[1] being initially assigned to the Juvenil A squad; he also represented the reserves in Tercera División during the campaign.

On 17 June 2017, Barbero signed for another reserve team, CA Osasuna B in Segunda División B.[2] On 27 June 2019, after helping the B-team in their promotion back to the third division with 19 goals, he renewed his contract until 2023.[3]

On 30 January 2020, Barbero was loaned to Segunda División side UD Almería until the end of the season, with an obligatory € 2 million buyout clause in case of promotion.[4] He made his professional debut three days later, coming on as a late substitute for Radosav Petrović in a 1–1 away draw against CD Numancia.[5]

Personal life

Barbero's father, also known as Barbero, was also a footballer. A goalkeeper, he also represented Almería.[1]
