After the 2006 season, Barsom announced that he was looking for a new challenge in another club. He signed a six-month contract with Greek club Messiniakos in the Greek second division. When his contract with Messiniakos ran out he signed for Allsvenskan team Örebro SK. After saving the club from relegation and the contract with Örebro SK had expired, he joined Norwegian club Fredrikstad FK. He finished his career in Syrianska FC.
In the Swedish general election of 2006, he presented his candidacy for Kristdemokraterna for a seat in the Stockholm city council, but he did not get elected.
