Club career
[edit | edit source]Arsenal
[edit | edit source]Born in Hornchurch, London,[2] Garry joined Arsenal in 1999 and progressed through their youth academy, winning the FA Youth Cup in 2001.[3] He signed a professional contract with Arsenal on 2 July 2001,[2] and his first team debut came against Sunderland on 6 November 2002 in the League Cup.[4] He made his first starting appearance on 7 May 2003 against Southampton, playing 90 minutes in a 6–1 win which saw hat-tricks from Robert Pires and Jermaine Pennant, the first match of Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten run.[5] However, this proved to be his only league appearance as he was then hit by long-term injury (shin splints) and spent most of the next four seasons on the sidelines.
AFC Bournemouth
[edit | edit source]He was released by Arsenal at the end of the 2006–07 season, after which he joined AFC Bournemouth on a contract until January 2008 following a trial.[6] He signed a contract extension in January 2008, which would keep him at the club until the end of the 2007–08 season.[7] He signed a new contract in June.[8]
Garry made his debut for Bournemouth in a 0–0 draw against Nottingham Forest on 11 August 2007. On 15 August 2009, Garry scored his first goal and the only goal in the match against Rotherham United in a 1–0 win. On 25 September 2010, Garry scored his second goal in a 2–0 win over Carlisle United and scored his third in a 1–1 draw against Sheffield Wednesday on 23 October 2010. Garry made his last appearance for Bournemouth against Walsall in a 3–0 victory before Garry suffered an injury.
In July 2011 he was forced to retire from football at the age of 27, after failing to recover from a persistent nerve-related problem in his lower leg and became first-team coach and defensive co-ordinator at Bournemouth.[9] He was released again 10 months later as part of a backroom reshuffle by new manager Paul Groves.[10]
Coaching career
[edit | edit source]On 27 September 2021, Garry was appointed as head coach of the England U18s following coaching spells with Bournemouth, Nike Academy and Arsenal.[11] On 16 August 2022, Garry was appointed as head coach of the England U17s.[12]
On 18 August 2022, Garry moved across to take charge of England U18s once again ahead of the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[13]
In January 2024, Garry was appointed as assistant manager at Challenger Pro League side Lommel to work under former Arsenal coach Steve Bould.[14] On 14 January 2025, Garry was appointed caretaker manager of Lommel following Bould's resignation.[15] In March 2025, following the appointment Lee Johnson, Garry returned to his previous role as assistant manager.[16]
In June 2025, Garry joined Championship side Norwich City as first-team coach.[17] He was placed in caretaker charge of the team in November 2025, following the sacking of Liam Manning.[18]
