Originally from Hamilton, Barham was zoned to Collingwood, where his brother Ricky played, but took a different route to league football.[2][3] He spent three seasons playing for Riddell District Football League club Gisborne, which were coached by another brother, Bill.[2][3] This meant he instead joined Melbourne, when he commenced his league career.[2][3]
Barham made four senior appearances for Melbourne in the 1981 VFL season and then played one game with Footscray in 1982.[4] He was the first player since Vic Nankervis in the 1940s to have the misfortune of playing for two different wooden spoon teams in successive seasons.[5]
