Robert Garrett (born 5 May 1988) is a Northern Irish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Portadown. He has previously played for Stoke City, Wrexham and Linfield.
Club career
Garrett joined Stoke City in 2002 and played just twice for the club both coming as a substitute in games towards the end of the 2005–06 season. In the 2006–07 season, Garrett enjoyed a loan spell at Football League Two side Wrexham. He returned to Wrexham again on loan in the 2007–08 season.[2] In the summer of 2007 Garrett returned to Belfast and joined Linfield and became one of their most important players. As Linfield added more quality to their midfield Robert's first team chances dried up, at which stage he had to consider his future.
On 16 April 2013 Garrett followed fellow Linfield men Daryl Fordyce & Albert Watson joining NASL club FC Edmonton on loan for their 2013 season.[3]
On 2 May 2014, it was confirmed that Garrett had signed for Portadown FC.
International career
In May 2009, Garrett received his first call up to the Northern Ireland squad for a friendly with Italy in Pisa. He was one of five Irish League players called up, one of which was former Linfield team mate Alan Mannus.
