Biography:
A promising midfielder with Stoke, a spell with Wrexham ended with relegation from the Football League in 2008. He then joined Linfield, where his great uncle Billy Ferguson was formerly a player, and his performances earned him a call-up for Northern Ireland at the end of the 2008/09 season. He was called-up for a second time the following summer having aided Linfield to "the Double", earning the Man of the Match award in the 2-1 Irish Cup final win over Portadown.

In April 2013 Garrett joined up with ex-Linfield teammates Daryl Fordyce and Albert Watson at Edmonton on a season long loan deal.

Garrett retired at the end of the 2025/26 season having helped Bangor to survival on their Premiership return.
