Adelaide United’s Jay Barnett has signed a three-year contract extension with the Isuzu UTE A-League high-flyers.
The South Australian product’s renewal will keep him at Coopers Stadium until at least the end of the 2027-28 season.
Barnett, who joined Adelaide in 2023 from rivals Melbourne Victory, has established himself as a key member of Carl Veart’s squad since returning to South Australia.

“I’m really proud and excited to extend my time at Adelaide United,” Barnett said.
“This club means so much to me, and to be able to represent my hometown on the pitch for the next few years is something very special.
“I’ve felt at home here since day one, and I’m looking forward to continuing to develop with this incredible team. There’s a lot of potential at this club, and I’m excited for what lies ahead.”
