The Welshman has gone on to feature for the likes of Tamworth, Macclesfield, Newport County, Gateshead and York City.
Barrow then played a key role in Darlington staving off relegation from the National League North when he joined on loan in 2024.
And the move became permanent after his contract with York expired at the end of the season.
But, in a huge blow for Darlington, Barrow is set for a spell out of action as he continues his recovery.
The Quakers are preparing to face King’s Lynn Town in a National League North clash on Saturday.
Darlington are only one point clear of the drop zone after winning two of their six clashes so far this term.
