Barasa started his career with
FBK Kaunas in 1994 before joining
Atlantas Klaipėda the following season. After a year in
Latvia with
Baltika Liepāja, he returned to
Lithuania with his family, then
FBK Kaunas came in for him.
Kaunas beckoned for Barasa in 2001, where he spent the following five seasons; four in the
Russian Premier League with
FC Krylia Sovetov Samara and
FC Alania Vladikavkaz and one in the
Russian First Division with
FC Lada Togliatti. During this period he was called up to the
Lithuanian national team, earning his first cap in 2001. At the end of the 2005 season, Barasa moved to
Scotland, signing for FBK Kaunas, then being immediately loaned to
Heart of Midlothian. He joined the
Tynecastle side on 13 January 2006 and spent a total of 16 months with the
Edinburgh club before moving back to Kaunas. In October 2006, Barasa was at the centre of controversy when he and compatriot
Saulius Mikoliūnas were booed by Hearts fans for perceived poor form in a game against
Rangers. This prompted Hearts' Sporting Director Alex Kozlovski to suggest that the supporters had ulterior motives for booing them, expressly their nationality. This claim was contested by fans representative groups and Kozlovski later apologised and retracted it. Barasa missed half of the
2006–07 season due to injury and left Hearts in the summer of 2007, before also rescinding his contract with Kaunas. After that he retired in order to pursue business interests in
Samara,
Russia, where he lives with his wife. His last game was against
Celtic in the
Scottish Premier League on 14 January 2007. ==International goals==
