- Richie Barnett (rugby league)
Richie Barnett is a British Rugby League player.
He is known as a winger with a second to none strike rate in Super League, with the best average gain per carry in the Warrington Wolves squad in 2006.
His early days were spent playing semi-professionally at Gateshead Thunder, while he was also studying business computing at Leeds Metropolitan University. He was a key player for Leeds Met, leading them to numerous cup and league triumphs. He was top scorer for two out of the three years he was at the university. While still at university Richie represented Great Britain students which paved the way for Gateshead Thunder to take him on.
Barnett was sold to Hull FC in 2004 who paid an appearance-linked deal worth £15,000. He proved his worth by scoring 23 tries in just 25 starts, making him one of Super League's top scorers. Along the way he also picked up a Challenge Cup winners medal with Hull. He joined Warrington Wolves in 2005 and became one of the most consistent try scorers for the club.
Richie joined Salford Reds in July 2007.
He is known as Richie Barnett Jr because he used to play with an older player, also named Richie Barnett.
