Club career

After spells with Bedfont Sports and Queens Park Rangers, Garnett moved to the US to begin a sport scholarship with college side Missouri State Bears in April 2015.[2] In December 2015, Garnett was invited by Carlisle United manager Keith Curle to take part in a one-month trial. However, at the end of the month, Curle opted against signing him.[3] In February 2016, Garnett returned to England to join Isthmian League Premier Division side Hendon.[4] Garnett went onto make ten appearances for Hendon (including London Senior Cup) before leaving for the Football League.[5]

On 13 July 2016, after a successful trial, Garnett joined League Two side Crawley Town on a two-year deal.[6] On 9 November 2016, after struggling with a hamstring injury, Garnett made his long-awaited debut in a 4–0 defeat to Southampton U23's in the EFL Trophy, replacing Chris Arthur at half-time.[7] Three days later, Garnett made his league debut for Crawley, in a 3–1 home defeat against Cambridge United, replacing Mark Connolly in the 44th minute.[8] On 25 August 2017, Garnett joined National League South side Whitehawk on a one-month loan deal.[9] A day later, Garnett made his debut for Whitehawk in their 1–1 draw with Braintree Town, featuring for the entire 90 minutes.[10] On 18 January 2018, it was announced that Garnett's contract with Crawley had been terminated and that he would leave the club.[11]

On 10 February 2018, following his release from Crawley, Garnett returned to boyhood club, Bedfont Sports of the Combined Counties League Premier Division.[12] He went onto make his debut on the same day during their 2–1 away victory over Horley Town, playing the full 90 minutes.[13]

Following a few years out of the game, Garnett returned briefly, having spells at St Panteleimon and Wingate & Finchley between 2021 and 2022.
