Scott Garlick (born May 29, 1972, inPhoenix, Arizona) is an American retiredsoccergoalkeeper who played 10 seasons inMajor League Soccer from 1997 to 2006.
Garlick went on trial toWaterford United in 1994. Initially for a month he stayed for two seasons before returning home in the hope of signing for aMLS club.
Garlick was not initially drafted by an MLS team; instead, he signed with theGreensboro Dynamo of theUSISL.D.C. United called him up early in the 1997 MLS season, and then signed him for good later in the year. Garlick promptly backstopped DC to theMLS Cup,[1] but the emergence ofTom Presthus led United to trade Garlick to theTampa Bay Mutiny prior to the 1999 season.
Garlick spent two and a half seasons in Tampa, until he was traded to theColorado Rapids in a deal that saw him packaged withCarlos Valderrama. He left Tampa as the team's all-time leader in most goalkeeping categories.[citation needed] He recorded 184 saves in the year 2000, an MLS single-season record that still stands today.
Garlick spent two and a half seasons with the Rapids as well, but the arrival ofJoe Cannon and Scott's subsequent controversial benching for the 2003 playoffs opened the door for his departure. He was traded to theDallas Burn prior to the 2004 season. Although Garlick began the season as the starter, he lost his job toJeff Cassar down the stretch. He was traded to Real Salt Lake at the conclusion of the 2005 season.
Garlick is a graduate ofBrophy College Preparatory in Phoenix.
In late February 2007 Garlick retired from soccer. In March 2007, he joinedCushman and Wakefield as a Senior Director of tenant representation.[2]
