A former Leeds United F.C. trainee, Corr failed to score in eighteen appearances (half of them as a substitute) in the 2005-06 in English football season before his season was ended prematurely by a back injury.
He spent a brief spell on loan at Bristol City F.C. 2006/07 season. He made two full appearances and scored his first senior goal before his spell was cut short.
On the 19th of March it was made official that Barry Corr would be united with old boss Paul Sturrock in a loan deal till the end of the season at Swindon Town in a bid to help the League Two club clinch promotion.
