His team eventually ended in the ninth place in the league and qualified for the UEFA Cup through fairplay.
Garrido scored his first goal for City direct from a free kick against Liverpool in their 3–2 loss on 5 October 2008.{{cite web

During his third season in England, following Manchester City's takeover, Garrido was third choice to Wayne Bridge and Sylvinho as left back.{{cite news |last1=Brennan |first1=Stuart |title=Sylvinho is no understudy |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sylvinho-is-no-understudy-928383 |access-date=18 November 2021 |work=Manchester Evening News |date=27 August 2009}}{{cite news |title=Mancini gives up on Bridge u-turn |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mancini-gives-up-on-bridge-u-turn-889298 |access-date=18 November 2021 |work=Manchester Evening News |date=10 May 2010}}{{cite news |last1=Taylor |first1=Daniel |title=Wayne Bridge of Manchester City out for a month after hernia operation |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2010/mar/16/wayne-bridge-hernia-operation-manchester-city |access-date=18 November 2021 |work=The Guardian |date=16 March 2010}} In the Manchester derby, in which United won 4–3, Garrido, as an unused substitute in the match, was struck on the head by a coin as he headed down the tunnel at half-time. After the match, he made accusations against United, describing the club's actions as a 'climate of hostility'.{{cite news |last1=Herbert |first1=Ian |last2= Jenson |first2=Pete |title=Wider football world against using netting despite shame of derby |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/hei-fi/sport/wider-football-world-against-using-netting-despite-shame-derby-8405445.html |access-date=10 October 2020 |work=The Independent |date=11 December 2012}} However, this changed when Roberto Mancini replaced Mark Hughes as City manager, he came off the bench against Stoke City on 26 December to gain only his first league appearance of the 2009–10 season; two days later he came on for Stephen Ireland against Wolverhampton Wanderers and scored a free kick.{{cite news|title=Gamecast: Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester City|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=269989&cc=5901|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604153147/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=269989&cc=5901|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 June 2011|publisher=ESPN Soccernet|date=28 December 2009|access-date=9 February 2013}} After leaving City, Garrido said he had no feud with Mancini, saying he was grateful to him when he gave him a chance to play in the first team.{{cite news|title=Norwich City's Javier Garrido praises Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8363993/|publisher=Sky Sports|date=28 December 2012|access-date=9 February 2013}}
=Lazio=
On 30 July 2010, Garrido joined Lazio – just days after Aleksandar Kolarov went in the opposite direction – on a four-year deal, for the fee of €2.2 million (£1.5 million).{{cite news|title=Lazio land Garrido|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/6286176/|publisher=Sky Sports|date=30 July 2010|access-date=9 February 2013}} He made his debut on 14 November as a substitute in a 2–0 win over Napoli. Eleven days later he scored his first goal in the fourth round of the Coppa Italia match, a 3–0 win against AlbinoLeffe. Shortly afterwards, he suffered an Achilles tendon problem, nit returning until the following 6 March. Under manager Edoardo Reja, Garrido found it difficult to make it to the first team.{{cite news|url=http://www.repubblica.it/sport/calcio/serie-a/lazio/2010/12/27/news/santa_cruz_prestito_fatto-10616554/|title=Here comes Santa Cruz but the dream is Mariga|date=27 December 2010|access-date=6 February 2013|publisher=Repubblica.it|language=it|trans-title=Arriva Santa Cruz ma il sogno è Mariga}}
The next season, Garrido was barely used for the club in the first half of the season, due to muscular problems, at first, and then strain in mid-March. He made his first appearance of the season, as Lazio lost 3–2 against Genoa on 5 February 2012.
=Norwich City=
On 16 August 2012, Garrido joined Norwich City on a season-long loan,{{cite news|title=Javier Garrido joins Norwich City from Lazio|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19283448|publisher=BBC Sport|date=16 August 2012|access-date=9 February 2013}} with an option to extend it beyond the 2012–13 season. The move was complete after his international clearance was granted and he was given the number 18 shirt.{{cite news|title=Garrido granted work permit|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8010079/|publisher=Sky Sports|date=22 August 2012|access-date=9 February 2013}} Upon joining Norwich, Garrido told BBC Radio Norfolk that joining the club was an easy decision to make.{{cite news|title=Norwich City was easy move – Javier Garrido|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19368616|publisher=BBC Sport|date=24 August 2012|access-date=9 February 2013}}
Garrido made his debut on 25 August in a 1–1 draw against Queens Park Rangers, and he beat Marc Tierney to the Canaries' regular left back position and established himself in the first team. In a match against Manchester United on 17 November, Garrido crossed the ball for a header by Anthony Pilkington for the only goal of the game.{{cite news|title=Norwich 1–0 Manchester United|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20278530|publisher=BBC Sport|date=17 November 2012|access-date=9 February 2013}} In late December, Garrido stated he would like to stay at Norwich.{{cite news|title=Javier Garrido wants to stay at Norwich City|url=http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city-fc/javier_garrido_wants_to_stay_at_norwich_city_1_1734813|work=Eastern Daily Press|date=7 December 2012|access-date=9 February 2013}} On 14 May 2013, Norwich announced they had agreed to sign Garrido on a permanent deal to join the club from 1 July on a two-year contract, with an option for another year.{{cite news|title=Javier Garrido: Norwich City sign left-back on permanent deal|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22528748|publisher=BBC Sport|date=14 May 2013|access-date=14 May 2013}}
