He played for Camberwell for two years, and attracted the attention of five VFL clubs, before signing with Carlton for the 1940 season.

[2] Bennett played eight seasons with Carlton as a member of the ruck and with his solid build liked to crash his way through packs.

He became a life member of the club after giving eight years of service.

He was captain-coach of Cooee in the North Western Football Union in 1948, and captain and assistant coach of North Launceston in the Northern Tasmanian Football Association in 1949, leading the team to the State Premiership that year.
