Playing career

A small and pacy rover, Pickett started his career in the 1990s with West Perth, playing three WAFL matches, but couldn't make an impact due to injuries. In 2001 he tried again, joining Peel Thunder and the following season became the first ever player from the club to win a Sandover Medal. He won his second Sandover Medal in 2004 while at Subiaco where he also enjoyed team success with four premierships.
In 2008 Pickett was named in Subiaco's official 'Team of the Century' as a forward pocket.
In early 2009 Pickett had a stint at Nightcliff in the Northern Territory Football League.
