A message from Lewis Barr

After much careful thought and consideration across the past few months, I have made the difficult decision to retire from football due to personal reasons.

This hasn’t been an easy choice, but it’s one I believe is right for me at this point in my life. Berwick Rangers has been, without doubt, the best place I’ve played football throughout my career. I’ve truly loved every minute of my time at the club over the past seven seasons.

It’s the people who make a football club what it is, and Berwick Rangers has been a perfect fit for me in every sense. I’m incredibly proud of the relationships I’ve built with everyone connected to the club – the fans, the staff, my teammates, and the coaching teams, both past and present.

My dad has also loved coming to Berwick to watch me play, and the warm welcome and kindness he’s always received means a great deal to me. It’s something I’ll never forget, so thank you.

I’ll definitely be coming back to Shielfield for a home game – I feel it’s important to thank everyone at the club who helped make my time at Berwick Rangers so special, both on and off the pitch.

I wish the gaffer and the club all the very best moving forward, and I hope the boys can bring the success that Berwick Rangers and its incredible supporters truly deserve.

With heartfelt thanks,

Lewy Barr
