Club career edit

Born in Abobo, Barro moved to Spain and was a CD Leganés youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the C-team on 11 April 2021, playing the last 31 minutes in a 1–1 Primera Categoría de Aficionados away draw against CD Los Yébenes San Bruno B.

On 25 August 2021, Barro was loaned to FC Cartagena and was assigned to the reserves in Tercera División RFEF.[1] In October, however, he suffered a serious knee injury, being sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.

On 21 July 2022, Barro returned to Cartagena and their B-team, signing a three-year contract.[2] He made his first team debut on 13 November, coming on as a late substitute for Isak Jansson in a 1–0 away win over CD Alfaro, for the season's Copa del Rey.[3]

Barro made his professional debut on 3 January 2023, replacing Damián Musto in 5–1 home loss against Villarreal CF, also for the national cup.[4][5]
