Scott Garlick (born May 29, 1972 in Phoenix, Arizona) is an American soccer goalkeeper, who currently plays for F.C. Dallas of Major League Soccer. Garlick was not drafted by an MLS team out of college; instead, he signed with the Carolina Dynamo of the A-League. D.C. United called him up early in the 1997 MLS season, and then signed him for good later in the year. Garlick promptly backstopped DC to the MLS Cup, but the emergence of Tom Presthus led to Scott being traded to the Tampa Bay Mutiny prior to the 1999 season. Garlick spend two and a half seasons in Tampa, until he was traded to the Colorado Rapids in a deal that saw him packaged with Carlos Valderrama. He left Tampa as the team's all-time leader in most goalkeeping categories. Garlick spent two and a half seasons with the Rapids as well, but the arrival of Joe Cannon and Scott's subsequent controversial benching for the 2003 playoffs opened the door for his departure. He was traded to Dallas prior to the 2004 season. Although Garlick began the season as the starter, he lost his job to Jeff Cassar down the stretch.
