Pickett Jnr’s dad also started his footy career on the Eyre Peninsula, moving to Port Lincoln at a young age and joining up with the Mallee Park football team. His talent later earned him a spot on Port Adelaide’s SANFL junior side.

Starting his season with two matches for Mallee Park in the Port Lincoln Football League, Pickett Jnr moved across to Western United’s A grade team in May.
