Colby Barnett

Colby Barnett is originally from Los Alamitos, California, the 21-year-old committed her future to AFC Toronto over several other professional opportunities in the United States.

During her college career at Santa Clara University, Barnett was a pivotal player for the Broncos. Known for her creativity and consistency, her standout performances earned her multiple accolades, solidifying her reputation as one of the top midfielders at the NCAA Division I level. This includes being named to the Herman Trophy Watch list in 2024, an award recognizing the top national player of the year. 

“As a player, she has a huge personality on the field, and I think our supporters will love her character. She’s very tenacious with a sweet left foot and is comfortable attacking outside in 1- v-1 moments or inside to combine. These are qualities that we look for in wide players and we feel Colby has the tools to be a big contributor in both attacking and defending moments.”
