The club captain re-joined permanently this summer after spending last season on loan from Barclays Women's Super League side Leicester City.

The experienced midfielder initially joined in 2018 after winning the league with Doncaster Rovers Belles before she joined the Foxes and earned another promotion in 2020.

Returning last season, Barker played a vital role holding down the United midfield after returning in December from an MCL injury suffered in the team's final pre-season friendly against Durham.
