Career
Born in
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.[5] Along with 11 other players, Blackett was placed on the transfer list at Peterborough following their promotion to the Championship.[6]
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.[7] He played in 31 games during the 2009–10 season, including in two play-off semi-final defeats to York City. The next season saw Blackett play just eight times, with long-term hernia and groin injuries ruling him out of the vast majority of games. In June 2011, he signed a one-year contract extension, having passed a medical examination on the injuries from the previous season.[8] However, further injuries restricted Blackett to twelve games during 2011–12 and, on 30 May 2012, he left the club having not been offered a new contract.[9]
Blackett rejoined Arlesey Town, then playing in the Southern Football League Premier Division, in August 2012.[10]
In December 2013, Blackett left Arlesey to join
In July 2014, Blackett left Hemel Hempstead and rejoined his first club Dunstable Town following their promotion to the Southern Football League Premier Division, eleven years after leaving the club.[11]
