Playing career

Early career

In October 2011, Fogarty played for the Australian Schoolboys. In 2012 and 2013, he played for the Gold Coast Titans' NYC team, before graduating to their Queensland Cup team, Tweed Heads Seagulls in 2014. In 2016, he joined Queensland Cup team Burleigh Bears. He was a member of the Burleigh Bears 2016 Queensland Cup winning side, defeating the Redcliffe Dolphins in the final. In November 2016, he signed a one-year contract with the Parramatta Eels, starting in 2017.

2017

In June, after spending the season so far playing for Eels' feeder club, Wentworthville Magpies, Fogarty was granted a release mid-season to return to the Burleigh Bears.

He signed a contract with the Titans and just under a fortnight after being released by the Eels, he made his NRL debut for the Titans in round 16 of the 2017 NRL season against the Wests Tigers.

2018

Fogarty made no appearances for Gold Coast Titans in 2018 and spent the entire year playing for the Burleigh Bears making 17 appearances in total.

2019

In 2019, Fogarty rejoined the Burleigh Bears full-time, starting at halfback in their Grand Final win over the Wynnum Manly Seagulls. On 27 September, Fogarty won the Petero Civoniceva Medal at the QRL awards.

2020

On 7 March, Fogarty signed with the Gold Coast Titans on a two-year deal. In round 9 2020, Fogarty scored his first points in the top grade by kicking a conversion in the 16-12 win over New Zealand Warriors. In round 15, Fogarty was named as the captain of the team in the absence of Kevin Proctor. In the same match, Fogarty was chased down by Canberra forward Josh Papalii after seemingly running away to score a try. Following the game, Fogarty spoke to media saying "I was very embarrassed. I've been copping a lot of text messages from people so I think I might throw my phone in the bin after the last couple of days".

The following week, Fogarty scored the winning try as the Gold Coast defeated St. George 14-10 at Kogarah Oval.

2021

On 2 February, Fogarty was named at halfback in the Indigenous All Stars team to play the New Zealand Māori at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

Fogarty asked the Gold Coast club for a release in September 2021 due to it becoming apparent that Toby Sexton would land the starting halfback role for 2022. He signed for the Canberra Raiders on a three-year deal shortly afterwards.
