Sam Barnes (born 16 October 1991 in Liverpool, United Kingdom) is a footballer playing for Glossop North End as Captain.

A former Liverpool schoolboys player, he first played for the Stockport County Under 18 team whilst still at school. His twin brother Louis Barnes was also part of the Under 18 side and was, along with Sam, given a squad number for the first team in the 2009/10 season.

In August 2010 both of the Barnes twins went on trial at Manchester United[1] and played for United's reserve team in a pre-season 2-0 win over Altrincham.[2]

They were released shortly afterwards after they failed to agree new contracts at Stockport County. In January 2011 he joined Northwich Victoria.[3]

In February 2011 he joined Marine. After 43 appearances for the club, in June 2012 he went on to join division rivals Hednesford Town.[4]
