Sheffield born Barwick came through the youth ranks of Scunthorpe United and was added
to the first team squad in the final months of the 1999–2000 campaign. He made his debut
in the club's 2–1 league defeat against Burnley when he came on as 46th-minute substitute
for Justin Walker. Though he only played a cameo role in his five years at the Glanford Park,
he was highly thought of by the club's supporters. He learned the ropes under first team
manager Brian Laws and his assistant Russ Wilcox. Barwick was bred from the same youth
side that featured Matthew Sparrow and Andy Butler and like the pair and other players
who come through United's youth ranks, he did well enough to keep himself at the club for a
reasonable period. His performances earned him a new one-year contract in both May 2003
and again in 2004.
