Albert Jarrett (born 23 October 1984) is a Sierra Leonean footballer. He was born in Freetown but raised in South London, England. He is currently playing for Gillingham.

Jarrett started his career as a schoolboy at Arsenal, but, when not offered a professional contract in the summer of 2003, joined Wimbledon. He played 10 games for the Dons in the 2003/04 season, but was released at the end of the season and subsequently joined Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion.

In his two year spell on the south coast, Jarrett was in and out of the team. He played 25 games in all for the Seagulls, scoring one goal, and had loan spells with Conference side Stevenage Borough in March 2005 and League One side Swindon Town in January 2006.

On being made available for a free transfer by Brighton at the end of the 2005/06 season he went on trial at Watford. After impressing in several pre-season friendlies, Jarrett was signed on a one-year deal on 16 August 2006.

Since signing has made one league appearance for Watford, as a substitute against Bolton Wanderers. In February 2007 he was loaned to Boston United for a month. Having returned from Boston, he was immediately loaned to Milton Keynes Dons for the remainder of the season. He was released by Watford on 22 May 2007.

On 30 September 2006 Jarrett received his first call up for the Sierra Leone national team. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/5395886.stm Jarrett gets Sierra Leone invite] ]
