Club career

Born in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Barreiro was a Valencia CF youth graduate. He made his debut as a senior with the reserves in the 2004–05 season, in Tercera División.

After prolific lower league spells at CD Lalín and Algeciras CF, Barreiro joined Cádiz CF on 31 January 2008.[1] Initially assigned to the B-side, he made his first-team debut on 20 April 2008, coming on as a late substitute for Natalio in a 1–0 away win against CD Numancia for the Segunda División championship.

Barreiro scored his first professional goal on 18 May 2008, but in a 2–5 loss at Celta de Vigo. After the club's relegation to Segunda División B, he was definitely promoted to the main squad.[2]

Released by the Gaditanos in the 2009 summer, Barreiro subsequently represented Jerez Industrial CF,[3] Zamora CF,[4] CCD Cerceda, Pontevedra CF[5] and Racing de Ferrol.[6] With the latter, he scored a career-best 21 goals in two consecutive seasons, as his team achieved promotion to the third tier and missed out another in the play-offs.

On 27 June 2014, Barreiro returned to the second level after six years, signing for Deportivo Alavés.[7] He scored 11 goals for the Basques during his debut campaign, including braces against CA Osasuna and CD Lugo,[8] and added a further five in the following as they returned to La Liga after ten years.
