The 20-year-old will return to Heriot-Watt on loan until the January window before joining Falkirk, where he will remain under contract until June 2027.
The sought after striker scored 14 goals in 25 games in the East of Scotland League First Division last season.
The club would like to put on record it’s thanks to Heriot-Watt University Football Club for their assistance in making this deal happen.
Falkirk Manager John McGlynn said of his latest signing:
“Barney is a player that we have been keeping our eye on for a wee while. We were tipped off about him, he’s a striker that can play in the wider areas as well, but we’re really bringing him in as a centre forward. He’s 6 foot 2, he has a good athletic build, he’s quick, so there’s a lot of raw material there and he’s definitely one for the future.
“Now that we have signed him he is going back out on loan to Heriot-Watt until January when he will come into the club and we will get a better look and a chance to work with him. From there we can see where the path is for him going forward, he’s one with potential and a little bit like Keelan Adams you never know, he might hit the ground running.
“We are delighted that he has decided to come to Falkirk, there was competition from other teams, so we are really pleased he has chosen to come to The Falkirk Stadium, and we look forward to working with him.”
Welcome to Falkirk, Barney!
