On 21 May 2013, Genk announced that negotiations with the player would not continue after both parties failed to agree terms on a contract extension.

After his spell in Belgium, Barda returned to Israel. On 25 June 2013 he signed a three-year contract at his hometown club Hapoel Be'er Sheva, where he started his professional career.

On 6 January 2009, despite interest from Scottish club Celtic, and Dutch clubs FC Twente and SC Heerenveen, the Israeli forward signed a new four-and-a-half year deal that would keep him at Genk until June 2013.

Barda's second season at Genk was marred by injuries. He featured in just 25 league matches and contributed 5 league goals, plus another goal during the semi-finals of the Belgian Cup. On 23 May 2009, Genk defeated KV Mechelen 2–0 in the Cup final, securing a berth in the play-off round of the UEFA Europa League 2009–10. In this match, Barda provided the assist for the first goal of the match.

On 22 June 2007, Barda was signed by Belgian side Racing Genk on a three-year contract, with the transfer fee believed to be in the region of €90,000. He had earlier failed to agree a move to Cypriot club APOEL F.C.. In his first season at Genk in 2007/08, he scored 16 goals in 32 appearances, finishing as the second highest goalscorer in the league. This included a hat-trick against Zulte-Waregem in a 5–2 victory.

Barda scored three times in 17 matches for the Israel U21 team between 2001 and 2003. On 17 November 2007, he scored the opening goal in Israel's win against Russia, a goal that could have saved England's UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying campaign if England beat or even drew with Croatia on 21 November 2007, but England lost the match 2–3, meaning they did not qualify. On 21 November 2007, he scored his second goal for Israel in their 1–0 win against Macedonia. He made his debut for Israel on 24 March 2007 in the Euro 2008 Qualifier against England (0–0).

On the eve of the 2005–06 Israeli season, Barda, along with Haifa teammate Walid Badir, was signed by Hapoel Tel Aviv. Barda played 62 matches for Hapoel Tel Aviv, scoring on 17 occasions. He also scored 3 goals in Hapoel's successful 2006-07 UEFA Cup campaign, where the Israeli team progressed past the group stages. Barda won silverware at Hapoel when he was a member of two Israel State Cup winning sides; in the 2005–06 season and the 2006–07 season.

In 2003, Barda transferred to Israeli champions Maccabi Haifa, who went on to win the next three championships. At Maccabi Haifa, Barda played in the championship winning teams of 2003–04 and 2004–05. In two seasons at Maccabi Haifa, the forward scored 12 goals in 63 appearances.

Barda began through the youth ranks of his hometown team, Hapoel Be'er Sheva, and then the first team. Between 1998 and 2002, which included seasons in both the Israeli Premier League and the second division, he scored 19 goals in 78 matches.
