Club career
He made his first spell at Djurgårdens IF from 2000 to 2002, after having joined Djurgårdens IF from BK Forward. He was later sold to SC Heerenveen in the Netherlands, but his time at the Abe Lenstra Stadion was no success. Consequently, Barsom returned to Sweden and Djurgårdens IF at the start of the 2004 season. He has won the Swedish championship twice, in 2002 and 2005. After the 2006 season, Barsom announced that he was looking for a new challenge in another club. He signed a six-month contract with Greek club Messiniakos in the Greek second division. When his contract with Messiniakos ran out he signed for Allsvenskan team Örebro SK.[2] After saving the club from relegation and the contract with Örebro SK had expired, he joined Norwegian club Fredrikstad FK. He finished his career in Syrianska FC.[3]
