Barnet FC has announced the departures of four key players: Mark Shelton, Anthony Hartigan, Rhys Browne, and Myles Kenlock.
What happened?
The players' contracts expired, and they will not be returning to the team.
Mark Shelton joined the Bees in 2024 and became a linchpin in the midfield. He was known for his work rate and tactical intelligence.
Why it matters for Barnet
The departures will be felt, as the players were instrumental in the team's success. Anthony Hartigan, the Club Captain, brought technical quality to the midfield. Rhys Browne was a fan favorite, known for his explosive pace and clinical finishing.
| Player | Appearances | Goals |
|---|---|---|
| Mark Shelton | ||
| Anthony Hartigan | 130 | |
| Rhys Browne | 43 |
What comes next?
The Bees will need to find replacements for the departing players. The team is currently 8th in England League Two, with 76 points from 46 games, and a recent form of WWWWW. Their last result was a 2-1 win against Harrogate Town on 2026-05-02.
The team will look to build on this success, despite the loss of key players. The Bee Army will be hoping for a strong start to the new season. With the current league standing, the team has a good chance of moving up the table. The departures of the four players will be a challenge, but the team is ready to move forward.
