Garbett recently signed a new contract which had some confusing aspects to it however seemed to signal his graduation from the Primavera (U19) team to senior football. Likely out on loan first but we’ll see how that goes. He’s at least got the short term to stake his case as he joins Torino in preseason... and he got onto the park at the first time of asking. Subbed on in a 3-1 friendly defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt at around about the 78 minute mark.

He replaced Simone Edera on the right side of a front three. Had a few nice touches, particularly some of his first time passing. Plenty of movement and some strong pressing. Drifting around, getting involved. It was only a dozen or so minutes of a cameo but positive visions there with several more friendlies to get through before their first Coppa Italia match in early August.
