Rust spent five years with the Stellies, and his work ethic didn't go unnoticed by the South African manager.
Barker admitted that Rust's departure would be a significant loss to the Western Cape, but it was a big deal he could not refuse.
"Yeah, look, Ruan, our head of performance," the Stellenbosch FC coach said.
"And I was telling the players when we said a bit of a farewell yesterday that all the players want to play in Europe or play in the English Premier League, and maybe staff want to work in the English Premier League.
"But I think in the whole club, he is world class, and he has the ability to work at the highest of the highest levels.
"But ja, we wish Ruan well; he's served the club exceptionally well."
Stellenbosch FC has earned only 12 points in seven games in the Betway Premiership, with their last game ending in a 1-1 draw against TS Galaxy before Sead Ramovic resigned.
