Career

College and Amateur

Duckett played youth soccer in Georgia and played for McIntosh High School where he captained the squad to a state title in his senior season. Duckett joined the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in 2007 and was the starting right back during his last two years with the school.

Professional

Duckett was drafted first in the third round (37th overall) in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft by Vancouver Whitecaps FC.[1] His versatility impressed coach Teitur Thordarson, who used Duckett, a natural right back, at centre back and left back during the 2011 pre-season.[2] The club signed Duckett on March 15, 2011,[3] and he made his professional debut on June 1 in a game against Chivas USA.

Duckett was waived by Vancouver on November 23, 2011.[4]

Duckett signed with USL Pro team Harrisburg City Islanders on March 27, 2012.[5]

Duckett signed with the MLS team New England Revolution on February 11, 2013.[6]

On February 20, 2014 Duckett signed with USL Pro club Charlotte Eagles.[7]

After the Eagles moved to the USL PDL, Duckett signed with USL side Sacramento Republic, before again moving to Charlotte Independence soon after on April 10, 2015.[8]
