Club career
Barazite started his career as a youth player with NEC Nijmegen. He joined Arsenal in 2006 and regularly featured for the U18 and Reserve teams throughout 2006–07. He signed a professional contract with the club in September 2007,[2] having scored for the first team in a pre-season friendly against Barnet the previous month.[2]
Barazite made his competitive Arsenal first-team début on 31 October 2007, as a substitute for Eduardo da Silva against Sheffield United in a League Cup Fourth Round match.[3] His second appearance also came as a substitute, for Mark Randall in Arsenal's League Cup quarter-final against Blackburn Rovers on 18 December 2007, but after only 17 minutes on the pitch he was stretchered off with a dislocated shoulder, and replaced by Fran Mérida.[4]
Barazite returned to reserve-team action after his injury, and scored his first hat trick for Arsenal in the under-18s, in a 5–2 win over Southampton. The other two were scored by Luke Freeman. Barazite was also named on the Arsenal bench for the final Premier League game against Sunderland on 11 May 2008, but was not brought on.
Barazite featured in Arsenal's preseason campaign for 2008–09, scoring for Arsenal in a 2–1 win against Barnet in a pre-season friendly at Underhill in July. On 19 August 2008, Barazite joined Championship side Derby County, initially until the end of the year but extended the loan until the end of the season.[5] Barazite was named Man of the Match as Derby won their first game for a week short of a year, despite coming off the bench at half time. He was instrumental in the 2–1 win and set up the winner late in the game. On 29 December 2008, it was confirmed that his loan spell at Derby County was to be extended until the end of the 2008–09 season. He scored his first goal for Derby on 18 February at home to Blackpool.[6]
2009–10 season
Barazite again featured in Arsenal's preseason campaign for 2009–10, scoring for the 3rd time for Arsenal in a 2–2 draw against Barnet in a pre-season friendly at Underhill on 18 July 2009. Barazite was involved in Arsenal's 2–0 win over West Brom in the Carling Cup where he replaced Armand Traoré on 69 minutes.
2010-11 season
On 10 August 2010, it was announced that Barazite had gone on trial for Scottish club, Rangers, with view to a season-long loan at the Scottish club.[7][8][9] He played 77 minutes of Rangers friendly against Glentoran. Despite losing 2-1, Barazite impressed.[10] On the transfer deadline he joined the Dutch club Vitesse on loan for the entire 2010/2011 season.[11] However, Vitesse decided to terminate the loan deal in December 2010.[12] On 31 January 2011 Barazite signed a contract with Austrian giants FK Austria Wien. The contract will keep him at the club until 2013. He played his first game on 12 February 2011 and scored his first goal in Austria Wien's 4-0 victory over SC Magna Wiener Neustadt on 19 February 2011.
International career
Barazite has played for the Netherlands national under-17 football team, being a member of the side in the 2007 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship;[13] he scored in the Netherlands' 2–2 draw with Belgium,[14] but the Netherlands did not progress beyond the group stage. He was a regular in the U-19 team for the 2009 European Championship qualifying campaign that ended when they narrowly missed out on a tournament spot on goal difference in the elite qualification stage. On 9 October, he made his first appearance in the 2011 U-21 European Championship qualifying, coming on as a second-half substitute.
