Shaun Garnett (born 22 November 1969) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender. He played in The Football League for six clubs and is now a coach at Tranmere Rovers.
Playing career
Garnett began his career as an apprentice with Tranmere Rovers, where he made his Football League debut during the 1987–88 season. He turned professional in June 1988 and went on to make more than 100 Football League appearances for the club, during a period that saw Rovers climb from the fourth to the second tier of English professional football, with Garnett making three appearances at Wembley Stadium for Rovers between May 1990 and May 1991.{{cite book | author= Glen Isherwood| title= Wembley:The Complete Record 1923–2000 | year=2006| pages= 257–269 | publisher=SportsBooks Ltd|isbn=1-874427-52-6}}
Garnett spent most of the 1992–93 season out on loan, completely an unwanted hat-trick of being involved in three relegations from the same division during the same season, at Football League Second Division sides Chester City (where he was the final debutant in Harry McNally's seven-year spell in charge{{cite book | author=Chas Sumner | title=On the Borderline: The Official History of Chester City 1885–1997 | year=1997| pages= stats section |publisher=Yore Publications|isbn=1-874427-52-6}}), Preston North End and Wigan Athletic. He remained at Tranmere until March 1996, when he joined Swansea City for £200,000{{cite web|url= https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=2769|

Garnett spent six years in the Oldham first-team before joining Nationwide Conference side Halifax Town for 2002–03, in a loan move that became permanent. The following season he moved to Morecambe, in another loan deal that was made permanent. He was released at the end of the 2003–04 season{{cite web|url= http://www.morecambefc.com/players/garnett.htm|title= Former Player Profile|publisher= Morecambe FC Official Website|accessdate= 21 February 2008|url-status= dead|archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20040412191715/http://www.morecambefc.com/players/garnett.htm|archivedate= 12 April 2004}} and joined Harrogate Town as player-coach.{{cite web|url= http://www.harrogatetown.com/cgi-script/csNews/csNews.cgi?database=News%20Archives%202004-05%202.db&command=viewone&id=131&op=|title= 2004/2005 Review | publisher = Harrogate Town FC Official Website | accessdate=21 February 2008}} He has since returned to Tranmere as part of the coaching staff at Prenton Park.{{Cite news | title= Tranmere under-19s 1, Preston under-19s 1 | url= http://icliverpool.icnetwork.co.uk/0550tranmereroversfc/0080news/tm_headline=tranmere-under-19s-1-preston-under-19s-1&method=full&objectid=20504899&siteid=50061-name_page.html
