[edit] Profile
Jarrett was born in Freetown to Creole parents, but he was raised in South London, England. Jarrett started his career as a schoolboy at Arsenal, but, when not offered a professional contract in the summer of 2003, he joined Wimbledon. He played 10 games for the Dons in the 2003–04 season, but was released at the end of the season and subsequently joined Football League Championship team Brighton & Hove Albion.
In his two-year spell at Brighton, Jarrett was in and out of the team. He played 25 games in all for the Seagulls, scoring one goal against Crewe Alexandra,[3] and had loan spells with Conference National team Stevenage Borough in March 2005 and League One team Swindon Town in January 2006.
On being made available for a free transfer by Brighton at the end of the 2005–06 season he went on trial at Watford. After impressing in several pre-season friendlies, Jarrett was signed on a one-year deal on 16 August 2006.
He made one league appearance for Watford, as a substitute against Bolton Wanderers. In February 2007 he was loaned to Boston United for a month. Having returned from Boston, he was immediately loaned to Milton Keynes Dons for the remainder of the season. He was released by Watford on 22 May 2007. On 18 September 2008, he joined Gillingham on a one month contract,[4] and made his debut as a substitute in a home win over Port Vale on 27 September. He remained with Gillingham until the end of the 2008–09 season, when he was released at the end of his contract. He then signed for Barnet where he developed the nickname 'The Giraffe' scoring 2 goals in his first season, one of which helped to keep Barnet up on the last day of the season.
On 30 September 2006, Jarrett received his first call up for the Sierra Leone national team.[5]
[edit] Legal incident
In January 2006, Jarrett was involved in a driving incident which hospitalised Eddy Owen, a Barnsley man. He was banned from driving for six months and fined £2,000.[6]
