Jake Joseph Garrett (born 10 March 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for EFL League One club Bristol Rovers on loan from club Blackburn Rovers.
Having played for Merseyside clubs Liverpool and Everton, Garrett joined Blackburn Rovers's academy at the age of nine.[1] [2] He signed his first professional contract in March 2020.[2]
Garrett featured for Blackburn in the 2021–22 pre-season, but was unable to break into the first team that year.[3] He again featured in pre-season in July 2022, and there was interest from clubs to sign him on loan.[4] However, he stayed with Blackburn Rovers, and made his professional debut in an EFL Cup tie against Bradford City in August 2022.[4] He went on to make his Championship debut in October of the same year, in a 2–0 win over Sunderland.[5] Following his league debut, manager Jon Dahl Tomasson heaped praise onto Garrett, particularly praising his development since the beginning of the season.[6]
In March 2023, Garrett signed a new four-and-a-half year contract with Rovers,[7] talking of his aims to help the club return to the Premier League.[8]
He scored his first goal for Blackburn in a 4–3 win over Walsall in the EFL Cup on 8 August 2023.[9] He was named as Blackburn's Young Player of the Year for the 2023–24 season.
On 3 August 2024, Garrett joined League One side Bristol Rovers on a season-long loan deal.[10]
Garrett has represented England at under-15 and under-16 level.[1]
