Club career

Leicester City

Born in Coventry, West Midlands, Garner began his career at Leicester City, signing a professional contract at the end of the 2007–08 season.[2] On 21 October 2008, Garner was loaned, initially for one month and later extended, to non-league side Ilkeston Town, managed by David Holdsworth.[3][4]

Mansfield Town

When Holdsworth was later appointed Mansfield Town manager, he signed Garner on a free transfer from Leicester on 8 January 2009.[5]

Within his first few games for the Stags, Garner had won the Conference National Player of the Month award for January.[6] In the four games he played over the month, Mansfield were unbeaten, conceding just one goal, with Garner scoring the winner in a 2–1 victory over Eastbourne Borough. A day after receiving the award, Garner was sent off for the first time in his career against York City. He captained the side, at the age of just 19, in a 2–0 win over Altrincham in April, scoring the opening goal.[7]

In the 2009–10 season, in the absence of club captain Gary Mills, Garner regularly took over the captain's armband.[8]

Grimsby Town

Garner signed for newly relegated Conference team Grimsby Town on a two-year contract on 7 July 2010.[9] After struggling to make an impact at Grimsby he was loaned too Alfreton Town on 8 February 2011.[10] On 29 March 2011, Grimsby's new managerial team of Paul Hurst and Rob Scott recalled Garner to the Grimsby team following a defensive injury crisis.[11] After playing 31 times in two years, Garner was told on 27 April 2012 that he no longer had a future at the club and was subsequently released.[12]

Cambridge United

Following his release from The Mariners earlier in the close season, Garner was offered deals by several clubs. On 13 June 2012, he chose to sign a two-year contract with Cambridge United.[13] Having struggled to hold down a first team place at Cambridge, Garner joined Lincoln City on a two-month loan on 6 October 2012.[14]

Non League

In July 2013 Garner signed for Boston United on a long-term loan deal[15] Garner went on to play for FC Halifax Town before signing with Guiseley on 13 June 2018.[16]

International career

Garner was named in the England C squad to play Hungary under-23's on 15 September 2009. He captained the side in a 1–1 draw.[17] He was also named in the squad to play Poland under-23's in November 2009, though club commitments at Mansfield prevented him from playing the game.[18]

On 12 May 2011 Garner and fellow Grimsby defender Rob Atkinson were called up for England C duty to play against Portugal on the 19th.
