Reading won out 4-2 to progress to the next round and Barrett is hoping that his excellent performance - only his eighth for the club after loans spells with Coventry and Aldershot - will see him featuring more in the cup, and the EFL Championship.
"You work towards getting these opportunities and making an impact. The biggest thing for me is that I want to keep myself relevant and keep myself involved in the first team, and for me to do that I have to show what I can do. "I know what I'm capable of doing. I've always scored goals and I've always been confident of my ability to score goals." "It's been frustrating in a certain way," said Barrett of the stop-start nature of his Reading career, "but I'm grateful that I'm even there. For me, these performances are about doing everything I can to the best of my ability to make sure the gaffer picks me... If I'm needed, I'll know I'll be ready."Barrett was born in Oxford to parents that hail from Tipperary and Dublin. He has previously played with St Kevin's Boys, in Dublin, and has also played a bit of GAA for Hampshire, over in England. He has represented Ireland at U17, U19 and U21, most recently at the Toulon Tournament, where Stephen Kenny's side reached the semi-finals.
