And Garbett did well in his hour on the pitch, certainly when getting the opportunity to move forward, as England scraped 1-0 win in Tampa, Florida.
There was one scary moment for Garbett when he was adjudged to have fouled Ivan Toney in the penalty area early in the second-half, but VAR came to the rescue by confirming an offside decision against the former Posh striker.
Garbett got to mix it with some big names as he prepares to become the first serving Posh player to appear in a World Cup Finals.
Getty Images were at the game. Here are their pictures of Garbett in action….
