Garrett played in 16 first-class matches for Essex, with his most notable performances against Warwickshire.[2] In a 1900 Leyton match, he batted for nearly four hours to save the game with 64 not out after Essex had to follow on 394 runs behind Warwickshire.[2] The subsequent season saw him score 92 at Edgbaston―his highest first-class score―and 76 in the return match at Leyton.[2][3]

In his first-class career Garrett scored a total of 516 runs and took a single wicket.[3] He played for Surrey's Second XI during 1904 and 1905.[2] He worked as a licensee and died at Buckhurst Hill near Loughton in 1953 aged 76.[2]
