MARK SHELTON
Barnet FC can confirm that midfielder Mark Shelton has left the Club following the expiration of his contract.
Shelts joined the Bees in the summer of 2024 and immediately became a linchpin in the heart of our midfield. Known for his work rate, tactical intelligence and an eye for goal, Shelts was a fundamental part of our squad that consistently challenged at the top of the table.
Shelts’ impact was felt most in the big moments. During the 2025/26 season, he proved his worth, netting vital strikes against the likes of Crawley Town and Barrow AFC. His ability to break up play and transition the Bees into attack made him a fan favourite and a trusted lieutenant for the coaching staff.
Shelts departs having played a significant role in the Club’s journey back toward the EFL, featuring heavily in the historic season where the Bees amassed 102 points. His dedication to the shirt and tireless performances in the middle of the park have left a lasting mark on our Club.
We would like to express our gratitude to Shelts for his commitment and contribution to the Bees. We wish him every success in his future career.
ANTHONY HARTIGAN
Barnet FC can confirm that Club Captain Anthony Hartigan has departed the Club following the expiration of his contract.
Harts officially joined the Bees in the Summer of 2024 following a successful loan spell, bringing with him a technical quality that quickly made him a cornerstone of our midfield. A product of AFC Wimbledon’s academy and with extensive EFL experience, his vision and dead-ball delivery became a hallmark of the Bees attacking play at The Hive.
His impact on the pitch was undeniable, particularly during the historic 102-point campaign. Harts’ ability to dictate the tempo of a game and his knack for spectacular long-range goals earned him a well-deserved spot in the National League Team of the Season.
With over 130 appearances in Black and Amber, Harts leaves behind a legacy of professionalism and technical excellence. Whether it was a pinpoint cross or a match-winning free-kick, he consistently delivered for the supporters and his teammates alike.
Everyone at Barnet FC would like to thank Harts for his immense contribution and wish him the very best of luck in his future career.
RHYS BROWNE
Â
Barnet FC can confirm that forward Rhys Browne has left the Club following the expiration of his contract.
Browny arrived at The Hive in mid 2024 and immediately became one of the most exciting attacking threats in the National League. Known for his explosive pace, direct running and clinical finishing, he was a nightmare for opposition defenders from the moment he made his debut.
During his time with the Bees, Browny made 43 appearances for the Club, scoring vital goals that propelled the team into the play-offs and beyond. His versatility across the front line and his ability to produce a moment of magic out of nothing made him a true fan favourite at The Hive.
A standout moment in his Barnet career was his crucial role in the 2024/25 season, where his goal-scoring form helped secure the National League title. Browny’s energy and flair were instrumental in transforming the Bees into one of the most feared attacking units in the division.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Browny for his dedication and the many memories he provided the Bee Army. We wish him nothing but the best for the future.
MYLES KENLOCK
Barnet FC can confirm that defender Myles Kenlock has departed the Club following the expiration of his contract.
Myles joined the Bees in the Summer of 2024, arriving with a wealth of experience from the EFL and National League. The former Ipswich Town man, who made over 100 appearances for the Tractor Boys across the Championship and League One, quickly established himself as a reliable presence on the left side of the Bees’ defence.
During his time at The Hive, Myles was a model of consistency. His defensive awareness and ability to join the attack made him a vital component of Dean Brennan’s backline.
Over the course of his time with the Bees, Myles made 44 appearances, contributing a memorable goal against Gateshead back in 2025. His professionalism and leadership in the dressing room played a key role in the Club’s recent successes and the record-breaking 102-point campaign.
Everyone at Barnet FC would like to thank Myles for his incredible service and hard work during his time at The Hive and we look forward to seeing him again in a few weeks, when he has been invited back for pre-season.
