Garlett played for the South Fremantle Football Club in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) before being drafted with pick 15 in the 2014 AFL draft. He made his AFL debut round 1 of the 2015 AFL season.[1] In his third game he was nominated for the 2015 AFL Goal of the Year after running from the backline to kick a long goal.[2] At the conclusion of the 2016 season, he left Gold Coast to return home to Western Australia due to family reasons.[3]

Garlett is a second cousin of Melbourne's Jeff Garlett and a first cousin of Hawthorn's 2013 draftee Dayle Garlett.

He was drafted by Carlton with the last pick in the 2017 national draft, and played thirteen games with the Blues in two seasons before being delisted at the end of the 2019 season.[4]
