]]> THE JOURNEY OF ST JOHN FISHER PRIMARY SCHOOL https://barnetfc.com/the-journey-of-st-john-fisher-primary-school Fri, 22 May 2026 14:03:26 +0000 https://barnetfc.com/?p=110729

Over the last few months, the club have been delighted to promote and be a part of the incredible journey of St John Fisher Catholic Primary School and their fantastic journey representing Barnet FC in the Utilita Cup!

 

The Utilita Cup is a competition held by all EFL clubs, split into league and regional sections, where the winners in each section of every league have the opportunity to play at Wembley!

 

In early November, as part of the EFL Week Of Action – The Hive played host to the Harrow Cup, with 32 primary schools entering the tournament. The winners were elected to represent Barnet at the Regional League Two Final in Milton Keynes.

 

After a few close results and penalty shoot-out wins – St John Fisher Primary School emerged as the tournament winners and as a result of that, received a lap of honour for their feats and achievements at half-time during Barnet’s fixture against Cheltenham in February.

 

Following a memorable day for the boys, the club where keen to ensure that the players where readily motivated and prepared for the regional finals, so First Team players Mark Shelton and Nik Tavares, alongside Academy Scholar Aaron Liwala, visited the school to take part and coach a training session a week before the regional finals.

 

The regional finals took place a week later and following an unbeaten run in the entire tournament and another penalty shoot-out win in the semi-finals, the team did the Barnet FC badge proud and won the tournament!

As a result, the group will now play the final against the Northern Regional Winners, Notts County, at Wembley, the home of football, in which will be a memorable day for the children, teachers, families and all involved, creating memories of a lifetime and a story that has been built up over the entire season!

 

The team joined up with the Barnet FC First Team at a training session, getting autographs and more advice ahead of what will be an unforgettable experience for everyone taking part, as the boys have all eyes on the trophy this coming Monday before the League Two Play-Off final kicks off.

 

Foundation Manager, Aleksander Czerniec said, “I am beyond delighted for the school and most importantly the kids involved. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the families of everyone involved and the club is beyond excited to have such a wonderful group of people represent the club on the biggest stage of them all. We wish them the best of luck on Monday and look forward to seeing them rewarded for their hard work!”

]]> STEAD AWARDED PLAYER OF THE MONTH FOR APRIL https://barnetfc.com/stead-awarded-player-of-the-month-for-arpil Fri, 08 May 2026 06:00:56 +0000 https://barnetfc.com/?p=110604

Callum Stead recently picked up the Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month for April, following a fantastic month in front of goal.

 

Nominated alongside our number ten were Cambridge United defender James Gibbons, Grimsby Town midfielder Kieran Green and Bristol Rovers striker Ellis Harrison, but with 10 goal contributions, Stead came out on top to win the award.

 

Stead opened the scoring in our 5-2 win away at Fleetwood Town on Easter Monday, on the stroke of half-time after the Cod Army went down to ten men. The goal before the break gave the Bees the momentum they needed to go on and claim victory in Lancashire. That same game, Stead laid the ball into the path of Diallang Jaiyesimi for goal number five of the afternoon.

 

The 26-year-old then provided the assist for Mark Shelton’s superb finish at home against Barrow, threading the ball through to the midfielder who was arriving in the box, before scoring what proved to be the match-winner in the 84th minute, heading home a delightful cross from Diallang Jaiyesimi to win Barnet the game.

 

Stead continued his fine form away at Meadow Lane, providing the assist for Kabongo Tshimanga’s goal in the second-half that saw the Bees overcome Notts County.

 

What followed against Gillingham was nothing short of remarkable. Stead opened the scoring just six minutes after kick-off against the Gills and when the visitors equalised, it wasn’t long before the forward added two goals in two minutes to seal his first-half hat-trick at The Hive. Goal four game on the stroke of 30 minutes, before he added a fifth in the second 45, breaking countless records along the way.

 

Congratulations, Steady!

]]> FOUR CHAMPIONS & SO MANY MEMORIES https://barnetfc.com/four-champions-so-many-memories Thu, 07 May 2026 16:39:25 +0000 https://barnetfc.com/?p=110612 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

 

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.
