Who is David Barnes?
David Michael Barnes is a rugby union prop for Bath Rugby in the Guinness Premiership.
Barnes was educated at Nevill Holt, Sedbergh School and Durham University. Whilst at Durham, he competed for Kendal RUFC. His performances then led to him playing for West Hartlepool R.F.C., during the 1996–97 season, when they were in the top tier.
He subsequently played for the Newcastle Falcons when they won the 1997–98 Premiership. It was during 1997 that Barnes was first involved with England A.
Barnes then joined Harlequin F.C., where he understudied Jason Leonard but was unable to gain a long term contract, and thus joined Bath Rugby in 2000.
In 2006, Barnes featured in an England XV side against the Barbarians. He then captained England Saxons at the 2006 Churchill Cup.
Barnes played in the final of the 2007-08 European Challenge Cup, as Bath defeated the Worcester Warriors.
Barnes, who is uncapped, was called up to Martin Johnson's squad for the 2009 Autumn Internationals. Barnes withdrew from the squad due to an injury inflicted upon him by team-mate Duncan Bell. Barnes is the chairman of The Professional Rugby Players' Association.
