Garner started his career at Blackburn Rovers and playing as a striker played in the same position as his namesake Simon Garner, Blackburn's highest-ever goalscorer. Contrary to some stories, the two are not related. He played for the youth and reserve teams at Ewood Park.

On January 19, 2007, Garner joined Carlisle United on loan until the end of the 2006-07 season.^[1] Garner scored his first ever league goal for Carlisle United at Brunton Park on the 10th February 2006. However Carlisle went on to lose the game 4-1. His record for ''The Cumbrians'' was 18 League appearances, 17 starts, 5 goals, 5 yellow cards and 1 red card in the 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town at Brunton Park, where he scored a first half stoppage time goal, got booked and sent off for "diving" after a tackle from goalkeeper Matt Glennon, a former United player.^[2]
On August 10, 2007, Garner joined Carlisle United for a club record fee of £140,000, which could rise to £150,000 if United gain promotion to The Championship.^[3] Scottish Premier League side Dundee United were also interested in signing Garner, before he joined Carlisle United.^[4]
