Garriock was on the move once again in 2008, playing for Fortuna Hjørring in Denmark, before moving back to her homeland Australia to play for Sydney FC in the Australian W-League.[2]
2009 marked a great honour for Garriock as she was selected for the prestigious Women's Professional Soccer league in the United States.

It was announced on 30 September 2009 that Chicago had waived their option for a second year, thus making Garriock a free agent.[3]
