Garvey currently plays for Castres Olympique in France.

Garvey started his career at Gloucester where he made a staggering start to life with a hat-trick of tries against Bristol. Whilst at Gloucester he started and scored a try in the 2003 Powergen Cup Final in which Gloucester defeated Northampton Saints.[2] He later moved slightly north in search of a new start. Electric wing Garvey signed a two-year deal with Worcester in May 2006 and is eager to show this season that he has lost none of his deadly finishing skills.

The winger has represented England A and England U21, being an integral part of the U21 World Cup team in 2004. He is also a member of the England Sevens set-up and played for the Barbarians.

In February 2008, Garvey signed a new two-year deal with Worcester which kept him at Sixways until 2010.

Garvey signed a deal with Castres Olympique in the South of France which means he left Worcester Warriors at the end of the 2011-2012 season.

He is former athlete Fiona May's cousin.
