Club Career

Non-League football

Pett began his career at Boreham Wood under the club's PASE youth system, spending just two months at academy level before moving to play in the youth system of hometown club Potters Bar Town. He broke into the first-team and established himself as a regular in the starting line-up at Potters Bar during the 2009–10 season, captaining the club at the age of 17. He was described as "one of the standout performers" for the following two seasons.

Pett was offered the chance to join up with Wealdstone midway through the 2011–12 season, who then played a division above Potters Bar, in the Isthmian League Premier Division. He accepted the offer and signed on a permanent deal on 25 January 2012. During Pett's final season with the club, he scored 18 times as Wealdstone won the Isthmian Premier Division title. He spent two and a half seasons at Grosvenor Vale, in which he scored 29 times in 123 appearances in all competitions. Manager Gordon Bartlett said that: "I can honestly say I always knew he would go on to play full-time football and I know he can make it in the professional game".
