Paul Barrowcliff

Barrowcliff returned to Metropolitan Police during the 2004 off-season. He made just 10 appearances during the 2004–05 season, but he captained the club during the 2005–06 season. Barrowcliff made 13 appearances during the 2006–07 season, but failed to make an appearance during the 2007–08 and 2008–09 seasons and retired in 2009. After his retirement, he became the club's physiotherapist. He represented the club's Veterans team in the 2012–13 Isthmian Veterans' Cup and played in the final, which was lost 2–1 to Northwood Vets.

Barrowcliff transferred to Isthmian League First Division South club Metropolitan Police in February 2003. He departed the club in September 2003.

Barrowcliff returned to Slough Town (now playing in the Isthmian League First Division South) in September 2003 and had a successful 2003–04 season with the club. He made 27 appearances and helped Slough to a fourth-place finish, which saw the Rebels secure promotion back to the Isthmian League Premier Division. During his two spells at Slough Town, Barrowcliff made 193 appearances and scored six goals.

Barrowcliff signed for Isthmian League Premier Division club Slough Town in January 1999. During what remained of the 1998–99 season, Barrowcliff made 18 appearances and scored three goals. He made 31 appearances during the 1999–00 season and scored one goal. After a period out of the team during the early months of the 2000–01 season, Barrowcliff was a virtual ever-present from November 2000 onwards and finished the season with 32 appearances. His performances were a rare highlight of a season which saw Slough suffer relegation. Playing at Isthmian League First Division level for the first time since 1990, Barrowcliff was again a virtual ever-present for Slough during the 2001–02 season. He made 46 appearances during the 2001–02 season and scored two goals. Barrowcliff played 39 matches during the 2002–03 season before departing the club in February 2003.

Following his release from Brentford, Barrowcliff joined Isthmian League Premier Division club Hendon in the summer of 1998. He failed to make an appearance and moved across the division to sign for Chesham United later in the year.

On 1 August 1997, Barrowcliff moved up to the Football League when he transferred to Second Division club Brentford for a £60,000 fee. He started Brentford's first six games in all competitions, but didn't feature again until November. He made substitute cameos and occasional starts, before injury ended his season in December. Barrowcliff was transfer-listed in February 1998 and his contract was cancelled by mutual consent after Brentford's final-day relegation to the Third Division. He made 16 appearances during the 1997–98 season.

Barrowcliff returned to former club Stevenage Borough on a one-month loan in October 1997. He made five appearances during his spell.

Barrowcliff joined newly-promoted Conference club Stevenage Borough in the summer of 1995. He was a vital part of the team which won the 1995–96 Conference title, making 50 appearances and scoring eight goals, but the club was not promoted to the Football League due to its Broadhall Way ground not meeting Football League requirements. Barrowcliff was named the club's 1995–96 Supporters' Player Of The Year award and also captained the team. He stayed with Stevenage for the 1996–97 season and left the club in August 1997.

Barrowcliff moved to Isthmian League Premier Division club Kingstonian in 1991 and played at Conference level for the first time when he signed for Wycombe Wanderers in 1992. Barrowcliff made just six appearances and left after the 1992–93 season to join Isthmian League Premier Division club Sutton United. Barrowcliff signed for Isthmian League Premier Division club Aylesbury United during the 1994–95 season and made 19 appearances before leaving at the end of the campaign.

Barrowcliff got into football through attending the Boys' Brigade and scouts as a youth. He began his senior career at Isthmian League Second Division South club Ruislip Manor in 1988 and moved up a level to sign for Premier Division club Hayes in February 1989. While at Hayes, Barrowcliff featured on loan for Isthmian League First Division club Chalfont St Peter in January 1990. He moved across the Isthmian League Premier Division to sign for Harrow Borough in March 1990. He departed early in the 1990–91 season to move Isthmian Premier Division club St Albans City and left to join divisional rivals Woking in February 1990.
