[edit] Career

Blackett started his career at Spartan South Midlands League side Dunstable Town, before moving to Ryman League club Arlesey Town. After only one year at Arlesey, Blackett and team-mate Craig Mackail-Smith signed for Conference National side Dagenham & Redbridge at the beginning of the 2004–05 season.^[1] After two seasons of finishing with Dagenham in mid-table, Blackett played a part in the Daggers' promotion-winning campaign of 2006–07, but was sold to Peterborough United in the January transfer window, again alongside Mackail-Smith.^[2]

Over the next two seasons, Blackett played in both of Peterborough's back-to-back promotions making a total of 35 league appearances, although he struggled with injuries.^[3] Along with 11 other players, Blackett was placed on the transfer list at Peterborough following their promotion to the Championship.^[4]

On 22 July 2009, Blackett joined his hometown club Luton Town on a two-year contract. The transfer was unique in that it was funded partly from the proceeds of a friendly with Peterborough, which took place on 25 July.^[5]
