After an opportunity with the Raiders fell through late last year, Garvey headed to the Bulldogs where he set out to carve himself a first grade bench spot.
His opportunity at the club came quicker than expected when he was drafted in at hooker for Michael Lichaa in the Bulldogs' Round 2 clash with Penrith.
Since Lichaa's return from a knee injury, Garvey has featured on the interchange three times in a utility role and has come on in short bursts – something he's still getting his head around in the aftermath of his 19-minute stint against the Roosters.
