Since 27th September 05 DANNY BARRETT - FOOTBALL Updated 15 July 2008

I was born in Brighton, East Sussex in March 1990, the eldest in our family. My dad registered me as the youngest Brighton & Hove Albion fan when I was just 13 minutes old. My family moved to Portsmouth, Hants when I was 18 months old. Harry was born on my second birthday and Frankie in January 1995. We moved to Helensburgh, Argyll & Bute when I was 7 and bought our own house in Paisley, Renfrewshire in April 2002, when I was 12.

I played Pro Youth football with Dundee Utd for three years before moving to Hibernian in August 03. I left them after 1½ seasons for a season with Hamilton before leaving them as I would have been ineligible for selection to the Scotland U18's schoolboys. I gained my Schoolboy Cap in 2007 after playing for Scotland against N Ireland and Malta (Away) and Rep Ireland and England (Home). I am currently looking for a pro club and am taking a break from boxing to pursue this.

I have now left school and am due to start at Reid Kerr College in August.

Over the last few years I've scored a few goals at 11-a-side, either at my own age group or at the year above. I played Centre Midfield in the 99-00 & 00-01 seasons and Centre Forward (mainly) for the rest. I am currently looking for a pro club for this season and am staying at school for 6th year in the hope that I can, once again, represent Scotland Schoolboys. The statistics are as follows.

I have scored 24 Hat-Tricks.

My favourite goal is now my International goal for Scotland against Malta, although not my best, it is certainly my proudest! Others have been the hat-trick against Rangers at Murray Park in Nov 03, the winner for P&D 15's in the Scottish Cup semi-final in April 05 and my two goals against Livingston BC in October 05.

The best of these was definitely the overhead kick against Livingston, a pure belter!
