Southend United announced on 25 January 2008, that Barnard had signed a permanent contract that would have kept him at Roots Hall until 2010.

On 29 January, Barnard made his full league debut against Leeds United and scored the only goal of the game in the 41st minute, pouncing on a loose ball after Steven Hammell's free kick had hit the post. Barnard scored nine goals from January until the end of the season, including an injury time winner at Carlisle United, who had the best home record in the league. Barnard endured a frustrating 2008–09 season due to injuries, despite this he still finished the season as the club's top scorer and the only player in the squad that season to reach double figures, getting his 10th goal of the campaign away at Northampton Town Southend had only lost once when Barnard has scored. He started the 2009–10 season scoring four goals in his first three matches, and scored his first professional hat-trick in the 3–0, League One victory over Leyton Orient on 4 September.

However, he damaged ankle ligaments in late October and returned to Spurs for two months for treatment.

Thanks to his prodigious goal scoring rate at reserve level, he was expected to make his first team debut in the 2005–06 season. He was due to make his debut in the match against Charlton Athletic on 5 February 2006. Tottenham were leading 3–0 until a Charlton goal in the 69th minute meant Martin Jol did not want to bring on another striker so Barnard had to wait.
